- rimunroe 11y agoThat is the official view of China.
- qb45 11y agoSure, and the official view of Taiwan is (was?) that PRC are rebels within their territory. However, it's one thing to have some "official view" and another thing to brainwash citizens into thinking that these countries really are one, as they practically aren't. I was asking about the latter. For example, some EU regulation classifies snails as fish to make their production eligible for fishing subsidies, but in biology textbooks they still remained molluscs.
- Cerium 11y agoYes, and China is in the middle of the map.
- qb45 11y agoOh c'mon, I'm still not sure about parent, but you are obviously trolling. You need to develop some subtlety to be taken seriously.
- Cerium 11y agoActually, I am completely serious. This is the map on display in Chinese schools: http://www.miniharm.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/worldmap.jpg http://www.miniharm.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/worldmap....
- mc32 11y agoThe map centering is quite okay. After all they'd want to highlight the home country, no big deal. The troublesome part is coloring land not theirs as theirs in the map as well as labeling India's "hat" as disputed. There ate disputed lands, but not as large as implied.
- qb45 11y agoCrap cultural shock. At least they didn't renumber meridians :) And it seems that Taiwan is indeed same color as PRC. They really are crazy.
- yyhhsj0521 11y agoYes. In addition, all Republic of China maps you buy in Taiwan show PRC as part of ROC. lol
