My taiwanese friends always told me that there are two Chinas: the People's Republic of China (PRC - maoist China) and the Republic of China (ROC - Taiwan and formerly mainland China).
The story is that during the Maoist revolution in mainland China, the sitting government at the time fled to Taiwan to avoid certain death. At the time, Taiwan was owned by the ROC, but over the years, Taiwan decided to be it's own country. The PRC claims that it owns Taiwan, despite the fact that it never took it over, simply because the ROC once owned both. However, the PRC never conquered the ROC so they exist separately.
Then there's the matter of the ROC's claim to mainland China, but let's not get too crazy here.
Remember those little gold stickers on the cheap bs products a few years back..."Made in Hong Kong R.O.C." then one day they stopped (1997+) You'd better toe the line maverick, or you'll be flyin a cargo plane full of rubber dog shit outta hong Kong!!!
What's the base salary for flying a cargo plane full of rubber dog shit, anyway? Is Hong Kong a desired location, or does it pay more because it's considered "hazard duty"?
Can you clarify 5? You mean Taiwan was a part of China before Mao or you mean it’s still a part of China now?
