OP wants to give lesson about mapping yet include Taiwan in a map of China. Seriously? He should learn about geography and country borders first before writing any blog post.
- jobigoud 7y agoYeah, it's even casually listed in the bar chart as a "Chinese province".
- sleepytimetea 7y agoThat is a BIG problem with this article - it looks like Chinese efforts to infiltrate all maps with their idea of Taiwan are pervasive and this author has unwittingly used their version of map data.
- bagacrap 7y agoHow about something constructive? Please write an uncontroversial blog post explaining "country borders". It should be easy since there's never once been disagreement on the subject in all of human history.
- tasogare 7y agoHow about opening Wikipedia and reading about the subject? I don't owe you any explanation. There is no ambiguity or "disagreement" (except on the Chinese side) on the matter: the fact is Taiwan has never ever been under the sovereignty of the People's Republic of China, period. The preceding entity that had both control over mainland China and Taiwan was the Republic of China, which is now ruling Taiwan. If for you the fact that a country emits internationally valid passports, print its money, has a government and an army is not enough to be a real state, you're a living in a province of China too.
