DISCLAIMER: When I talk about Taiwan, I refer to Republic of China. When I talk about China, I refer to People's Republic of China. I deliberately do not mention the official R.O.C and P.R.C names as most people outside Asia are less familiar with these acronyms than with the names Taiwan and China. This is done for ease of understanding, not as a statement that Taiwan is a country.
