Texas is de fact and de jure a part of the United States. It's not a valid comparison and you know it.

What do you think about sources having depicted the Donetsk People's Republic as a part of Ukraine?

Apples to oranges, the DPR and LPR moreso puppet states of the Russian Federation than sovereign state in their own right. The same isn't true of Taiwan (despite its ties with Western states aiming to protect their interests in the region).

You really dodged the question there.

Also Taiwan is as much a puppet state of the USA.
