    From Wikipedia:

    Taiwan, officially the Republic of China (ROC), is a country in East Asia.

    What were you saying?

      What’s your point? Did you just stop there and not read the next sentence that says “It is located at the junction of the East and South China Seas in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, with the People’s Republic of China (PRC) to the northwest”?

        My point is that Taiwan IS a part of China. Two different governments but the same country. And both say they are the “real” China.

      Wait until you hear about the official names of China, or North and South Korea

      (For the uninitiated: People’s Republic of China, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, and Republic of Korea. Tl;dr there’s more than one issue if you’re going off the country’s official name for which land they own)
