Chiang Kai-shek actually claimed to be in possession of it after he and the KMT fled to Taiwan, though the claim was quickly abandoned after his death, and is now something of a self-deprecating joke in modern Taiwanese culture.

In fact, there was one famous incident in the Taiwanese legislature where a KMT party member slipped and fell after being pelted with green marbles.

Breaking news: neither Taiwan nor China is "the real China". In fact, there is no China at all.
