> in keeping with how most people in both Taiwan* and the rest of China normally use it. I lived in China for 6 years, and also worked in Taiwan. I can tell you that is _not_ how most people in Taiwan and China use it. People in Taiwan most certainly do _not_ refer to Taiwan as 中国 (ZhongGuo), and people in China refer to Taiwan as 台湾 (TaiWan). The CCP does consider Taiwan a "renegade province" of China under its "One China" policy, but wishing something is true doesn't actually make it so, and in practical terms Taiwan is no more under Beijing's control than Ireland under the control of Westminster.
