Taiwan is NOT the Province of China about carbon

[kylekatarnls]

Hello,

For the record there is no intent of denying Taiwan as being an autonomous country.

This data comes from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_3166_country_codes which is supposed to be reliable but it's obviously a complex matter to be neutral.

As per what is written there:

The Republic of China controls Taiwan. The People's Republic of China claims Taiwan as its Taiwan Province. In deference to the People's Republic of China, the United Nations refers to Taiwan as Taiwan, Province of China.

I'm not familiar with the political situation, I assume you live there and know better how the people feel about unification, independence, or all the other options in between. I sincerely stand with Taiwan people and wish that they can decide their own fate in a democratic way, free of pressure from neither RoC government or any other foreign influence.

I would last add that "China" in this suffix is (as far as I understand it) not referring to the country government of the RoC but to a geographic area and as no meaning of subordination to another country.

That being said, I would agree to remove this suffix, because either one would be more in favor of the independence or unification, when wanting to know what the ISO code stands for, knowing TW is Taiwan is enough and the rest is superfluous.
