Summer camp for chinese kids.

An island on which a partially recognized country called the Republic of China resides, led by the nationalist party of China, represented by the Nationalist flag of China.

The vast majority of the population are ethnic Chinese, who speak Mandarin and utilize Chinese characters.

Over 65% of the island's trade (imports/exports) is conducted with the people's republic of china (as of 2011), and over 1 million ROC citizens live and work in the PRC, overseeing ROC investments.

The Chinese nationalist regime presiding over Taiwan Island claims all of the PRC, Mongolia, parts of India and other territories because it considers itself the legitimate ruler over all of 'Greater' China as defined by historical boundaries and by the fact that it lost these territories to the communists in the Chinese civil war.

Taiwan is a province of China (regardless of what your political views are). The official names used for Taiwan are

*Taiwan, People's Republic of China (on the mainland).
*Taiwan, Republic of China (on Taiwan).

A small island south of the People's Republic of China that has been through a lot of turnmoil through its history. Throughout history, it has been controlled by the Europeans, China, and Japan.

Recently, due to the increasing popularity of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), Taiwan has been pushing for independence. This is due to the corrupt and ineffective rule of the ruling KMT party that escaped from mainland China after the Communist Party took over China.

Taiwanese people are known to have a lot of national pride and are ardent in shoving down their "TAIWAN > CHINA omg I WANT TO FELLIATE TAIWAN!!11 CHINA sUx0rZ!!1". They also tend to look down on their mainland brothers when many of them came from the mainland at one time in the past.

This a small island that has seen robust economic growth with a government not recognized by the United Nations. Contrary to what many rowdy Taiwanese teenagers living in the United States believe, many Taiwanese people do not want to push for independence. In fact during the recent paliamentary elections, the pro-independence Democratic Progressive party was soundly defeated by the pro-Beijing Naitonalist party. With the mainland's economy and power increasing at an astonishing pace (9.6% gdp increase in 2004), it would be in the best interest for Taiwan to concede the People's Republic of China.

Used to be a Province of China,an island where next to Fujian Province of China,most people are Han folks,including a big amount of Hakka-speaking and Minan-speaking Chinese,and some kinds of native minority.Now it has government,military and independent economic system as well,but not yet an independent country formally,Taiwan is still in the name of "Taiwan,A Republic of China's province",the Capital of Taiwan is Taiepi,has been the temporary capital of Republic of China since General Cheng Kai-shi's government has escaped to Taiwan.
The name of "Taiwan" was given by Ching Dynasty Chinese government,so it would be more patriotic to remove the name of "Taiwan" when it is going to be independent,for completely distinguish from China in both concept of history or nationalism.

A province of China located in the Pacific Ocean off of the coast of the People's Republic of China. This province of China repeatedly attempts to break away from the mainland, however they fail in all aspects, including government, illustrated obviously by corruption charges on the previous President and the Senators fighting in congress.
