    I am assuming you are referring to Taiwan!

    It sounds like Taiwan. I would like to learn about the history of Taiwan. I grew up in China and was taught it is a province. I need a second view.

    Interestingly, the "fight" between Mainlanders and Taiwanese comes all the way here in the US, when it comes to teach kids Mandarin. Because there are two systems, traditional in Taiwan and simplified in Mainland China. I can't find the article but it was LA times (?).

    Recently I listened to a Geo Quiz on NPR’s The World. So let’s see if you can guess the answer to the following quiz. Here are a few hints...Monday marks the 100th anniversary of a revolution. It ended the Qing Dynasty and two thousand years of Imperial China’s rule. The island is about the size of Maryland and Delaware combined. Mainland China, or the People’s Republic of China, officially considers this island a province, not an independent state. Some two dozen other countries recognize it as a sovereign nation. In fact this island maintains its own military, issues its own passports and fields its own Olympic team. So name this independent-minded island that the United States and most other nations don’t recognize as independent, but as part of “one China." Post your answers below.
