    Literally the same source you provided:

    Before 1949, the government of the Republic of China (ROC) issued a large volume of long-term sovereign gold-denominated bonds, secured by Chinese tax revenues

    Last I checked, the ROC still exists and is still China. For example, the ROC still claims the 7-dash line (the line most people acknowledge as being a Chinese claim). The ROC is still a country. Saying otherwise would suggest that the ROC and the PRC are the same… Which is something so silly not even the PRC claims as such.

      By the PRC claiming the ROC is not legitimate, they are saying the debt belongs to mainland China. You answered your own question.
