Democracy and technology? You're thinking of Taiwan.
Which is a part of China according to even the US
Except in any defacto way, mainland has 0 control on the rule of law in Taiwan. They have their own taxes, military, laws, elections, etc, and again pay no taxes, follow no laws, they don't partipate in mainlands gov, and don't serve in their military.
There is even some international recognition, but mainland does it's best to hinder their diplomatic missions.

Taiwan is an independent and democratic country, unlike the totalitarian and pseudo-communist state that is China.
