Australia asks China to explain 'extraordinary' military build-up

  • Taiwan is a region of the ROC. The ROC is a country.

    • Australia asks China to explain 'extraordinary' military build-up

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan_Area

    You can check the territorial claims of the Republic of China ("Taiwan") under the selector "Show map of Taiwan (dark green) with ROC Mainland Area and historical claims (light green)"

    The map is not quite up to date as it still shows the ROC as claiming Taiwan, despite formally granting independance in 2002 source

    • Australia asks China to explain 'extraordinary' military build-up

  • Because that's a history question. "Taiwan" is not a country, it's a province of the Republic of China (ROC), which was the government of China before the communist revolution. They fled to Taiwan but their constitution etc still define them as the Republic Of China, with territorial claims over all of China

    Here is an article specifically on that exact topic

    Edit: The main "Taiwan" wikipedia article also has a map that can be selected under the label "Show map of Taiwan (dark green) with ROC Mainland Area and historical claims (light green)"

    • Ukraine seeks return of up to 10 million refugees and migrants fleeing Russia’s war

  • Well, that's all good and sound, if you forget that they probably want to forcefully enroll repatriated people

    • Hamas’s leader is dead, Iran vows revenge: can anything stop all-out war in the Middle East?
