[edit] Naming of this article

This article is called the Republic of China due to the Wikipedia principle and precedent of places being named according to what the de facto government that rules it calls it. Naturally this has no legal weight, and arguing this point is silly. Nor does imply endorsement by Wikipedia or any contributing authors of whatever name that place is called. The overriding concern is to be consistent with other Wikipeia practices. Kransky 12:42, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Also in the categorisation page it will be called the Republic of China, and will be ordered with other countries starting with 'C' (C for 'China, Republic of'), and not 'R' (R for 'Republic of China') or 'T' (T for 'Taiwan') Kransky 12:42, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Link to PRC Missions

There is no direct link between Chinese and Taiwanese missions, so the link has been removed. The issue of international recognition is relevant and important, so it stays.Kransky 12:42, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
