You can still include something like "Taiwan, province of China" can't you? It's infuriating, but still better than just removing any option for Taiwan users.

- gambiting 12y agoThat would be technically correct, but they want you to select "China" if you live in Taiwan. "province of X" would not be a correct choice in the "country" selection box. Obviously I agree with you, but the censorship commission is incredibly strict about that and they wouldn't accept such measures to sidestep their restrictions. Edit: I really do wonder why someone downvoted my comments. Is that because you support the Chinese censorship or for some other reason?
- justquest 12y agoLanguages are not countries. A pet peeve I have is websites that toggle languages with a flag. In this case, I would be curious to know if the PRC would have an issue with a traditional character option.
- seszett 12y agoSince traditional is used in Hong-Kong which is in PRC, I doubt they would have an issue with it. We're not talking about languages here however, but countries. A "traditional character option" wouldn't be enough to indicate Taiwan (since languages are not countries, just like you said).
