Just received this email from a visitor to one of my site. Obviously my first reaction was wtf? Then I read the email once again and laughed like cartman when he saw the midget.
"please fix your site. in the country drop down menu, you state that taiwan is a province of china. it is NOT. taiwan's government runs independently of china. that is a fact. please show respect to basic democracy and human rights. thanks."

well he / she is right
they are a very nationalistic country
its like putting USA as Province of Mexico.

instead of 'province'... you should change Taiwan's description to 'China's Bitch'.

Yeah man - there is big beef between taiwan and the mainland. I'm not surprised you got that email.

Of course I am going to change it, but the funny part is I grabbed the list of countries from UN. I didn't even bother to look through check the listings.

Taiwan is NOT a country, I believe that's correct, right? It's a breakaway province of China that would like to be fully indipendant of China, but in fact is not at the current time, right?
- nah, it's its own country. It's actually called the Republic of China, as opposed to the People's Republic of China.zarkonite

"please show respect to basic democracy and human rights."
This part cracked me up, cause I didn't mean to offend anyone.

Blame China they're responsible for much of the confusion.
Remember when Google listed them as a Chinese territory? There's lots of pressure to refer to Taiwan as part of China.

(Mar 29 07, 10:52)China does not reco taiwan as country it considers as a country. but taiwan considers it self as a nation.
UN does not reco taiwan eventhough it has seat on the UN as independent.
the worry is that and china has indicated, if any nation reco taiwan as country will face economic embargo. also, china will attack taiwan.
thats why when taiwanese president came to see US president, it was a big deal.
