I'm well familiar with original meaning of the term, but today, when you say regime, it's usually a dictatorship, an unlawful government that holds on power by force and violence.
I would say that Taiwan isn't such country, while rule of CCP in Mainland China is.
That's the Western connotations attached to the word, not the definition.
If you think of the CPC as having earnt the connotations attached to "regime", then by all means, use it. I, on the other hand, think the DPP earns its use as much, if not more, than the CPC. On politics, we can agree to disagree.
It's good, I suppose, that you won't let political preference get in the way of your perspective on nationhood. We can disagree on which political system is best for China but we can agree we both want the best for her.
That, at the very least, is more than can be said for the traitorous pan-green f*cks who would turn their backs on their motherland.
