    I am finding that Tibet has also ceased to be on a number of maps. Obviously Taiwan is far more dramatic, but it follows the same lines.

    Does the UN (or western countries in general) recognize Tibet anymore?

    Edit: Tibet absent in the CIA World Fact Book...

    Taiwan is not part of China...

    However, Chinese nationalists will claim otherwise.

    This thread should be moved to General Chat anyways. :rolleyes:

    Taiwan isn't a part of China, as it has it's own government, constitution and is recognised by the UN. China still considers it a rogue state.

    It China it is illegal to say that Taiwan is a seperate country, and for the Taiwanese people, claiming that they are a aprt of China will only annoy the hell out of them, as they seem to be touchy about it.

    I agree. I don't know why Google would show Taiwan as a part of China. Mainland China considers Taiwan to be a part of their country, but the people in Taiwan don't. I wonder when or if China will attack Taiwan. I believe they will.

    It's a possibility, but I doubt it, not in the near future. Taiwan has the US backing it, last I heard
