HK and Macao are parts of China - listed as special territories. Taiwan is indeed a political issue . ..

Being that I live in Taiwan, this issue has been very controversial over the past few years. Generally speaking, the North believes that Taiwan should be associated with China while the South believes that Taiwan should remain independent. I also recall a politician on TV once said [through translation], "Why don't you split Taiwan into two parts? North and South? Much like North and South Korea." Indeed, that's what I think too.
Best,

The above is only a tiny part of the problem. Without getting into politics too much China and a number of countries believe that Taiwan IS part of China while others believe that it isn't. Taiwan is rightly shown as a country as that is its current status. Whether it will be 1 fully recognized or 2 changed to being part of China is not really for me to discuss or decide. Right now it is in the middle of the two and many people get very emotional over the issue.

Taiwan has its own President who was elected by every Taiwan's voters.
The TRUTH cannot be confused and ignored.
Maybe someday this country will be part of China;
However, Now it is still not part of CHina indeed.
Now It is a very vague status/position in international situation.

Since this thread is about welcoming members from every corners of the world in a united place, I'd like to welcome our friends from China and from Taiwan with the same enthusiasm and magical expectations: in magic they have a very strong link. Let's share magic with as many different people as we can. It will only make magic better.
Magic is not a performing art where people don't know how situations are reached, it's the art of showing parallel dimensions that can't be reached

I think the final word on a countries status should be elft to its representatives.
So, if the folks here from Taiwan say its a separate country then IMHo that's how we treat it.
Lets not get embroiled in ancient national politics 
(I guess that goes for the Conch republic, too  )

Oh... and Wales is part of great brittan... but AIUI the Welsh have their own identity, as do the Scotts.
So if they wanted to be listed independently I say that's fine, too
