    Not really a good comparison.

    If American Samoa had been an independent country for the last 75 years, operating pretty much completely independently, had 23 million people, claimed not to be ruled by the US, and other people were saying "we recognize that it has been independent for decades at this point" then it'd be comparable.

    What happens if Taiwan attempts full autonomy or China attempts full control

    Are you implying Taiwan isn't already fully autonomous? Or that China has any control over Taiwan...?
