Option A :- INCORRECT
That is irrelevant and makes the sentence wordy. The sentence makes more sense without the use of that, because it is not needed to introduce the last clause.

Option B :- INCORRECT
Taiwan is an independent state is a dangling clause that can stand on its own as it does not make a meaningful sense.

Option C :- INCORRECT
As is an adverb that is used to compare between two subjects.
It is not necessary in the sentence as it does not show any form of comparison

Option D :- INCORRECT
Taiwan as being an independent state.
This is a misplaced modifier it does not signify anything but rather renders the option incorrect.

Option E :- CORRECT
Consider Taiwan an independent state
This is concise, not wordy and follows parallelism.
