The CCP considers Taiwan a rogue province, Taiwan still officially considers the CCP to be a rogue mainland, so there's a totally reasonable symmetry in that position.

Politically and officially, yes, and they're closely linked to national pride and because of things like politics and trade.
And while the CCP still has designs on the "Rogue Province", the general attitude from the overall [and more importantly younger] population in Taiwan, from what I've gathered, is that they don't consider themselves Chinese as in mainland Chinese now but Taiwanese. They don't really identify with being Chinese like their grandparents or great grandparents, much like how migrant families to the United States have grandchildren and great grandchildren that are American despite having grandparents coming from, say, the UK or Germany or Mexico or Japan.
It's basically been too long and the cultures have diverged too much, much like North Korea and South Korea.
According to what i read,Mao gutted China culture,and real chineese culture now live on Taivan and in Singapoore.
