This is such a laughably stupid point it's hilarious that you'd make it. The ROC still exists and has an economy, land, people, resources, trade, and international relationships (which the PRC acknowledges, much to their chagrin) and thus is still responsible for servicing the ROC's debt. The only way the PRC would take over the ROC's debt is if the US acknowledged that the PRC is the rightful government across both Mainland China and Taiwan. That's never happening.

Go away tankie.

Tankie is a pejorative label for communists and those who align with Marxism–Leninism ideology. More generally, the term "tankie" has been applied for those who express support for one-party socialist republics that are associated with Marxism–Leninism, whether contemporary or historical. And this is a communist communication platform. You absolute dunce.

You got a source stating this is not somehow China's debt?

If you want to be laughably stupid, you gotta bring the sauce baby boo. I brought the sauce, how about you?

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.
