I agree that the PRC is the legitimate government of China.
However, I don't see the PRC as the legitimate government of Taiwan. They obviously didn't fight hard enough to take Taiwan away. If you believe that China should eventually step into Taiwan and take over shop - then I immediately demand that the United Kingdom cede it's territory to the U.S. since we won our revolution, too.
