@AjaxSmack: could you please explain this edit? As Taiwan is currently a part of the Republic of China it is “Chinese” as “Chinese” doesn’t necessarily only refer to Mainland China. —Donald Trung (talk) 16:34, 22 September 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The term “Taiwan” here is the “WP:COMMONNAME” of the Republic of China“, it does not refer to the island of Taiwan but the political entity which is China but referred to as “Taiwan”. For example “Government of the Republic of China” but “President of Taiwan“, different names for the same concept. —Donald Trung (talk) 09:23, 7 October 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• @Ffd34223:, could you then properly articulate why the Modern Republic of China should be excluded and all of “Taiwan” (including the period of 1945 to 1948) if it’s not about the Republic of China being a country or not. —Donald Trung (talk) 11:03, 7 October 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

China in this Template refers to the geographical concept of China. Since this Template contains historical Chinese non-PRC regimes (such as Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing), it is appropriate to include the Republic of China (Taiwan). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ho Pak-chuen (talk • contribs) 09:21, 14 February 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I’ll refrain from making further edits to this template in respect to the ROC situation. But I saw that the edits by Ho Pak-chuen were reverted and no reason given. It seems kind of odd to exclude the Republic of China from “China”, this would be like stating that “when people talk about “Korea” they mean South Korea so we should exclude North Korea from General templates about Korea”. If and when Taiwan declares itself to no longer be a part of China its exclusion from that point would make sense, but to exclude it while the Republic of China was still legally recognised by half or most of the world as “the only China” until the 1970’s would be disingenuous to claim that it stopped being “China” in 1949. —Donald Trung (talk) 06:56, 29 March 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
