How would you answer this, and how would you expect Chinese netizens on Xiaohongshu to answer?
I will link to the thread in the comments because I want you to take a moment and think about it first.

The KMT is where the origins of RoC as "true China" come from. Outside of the KMT, there are no claims of the RoC as anything resembling a "legitimate heir to China," only the KMT as the former rulers of the mainland. When someone says RoC is "true China," they are lionizing the KMT and upholding its legitimacy over the Communist Party of China for governance of the mainland.
Calling the RoC "true China" without mentioning the KMT is silly, there's no basis for that claim without upholding the KMT's roots.
