However, in order to remain unbiased since we use the following international ISO standard http://www.iso.org/iso/country_codes/iso_3...de_elements.htm for all our locations we decided to stick to it for Taiwan. They list Taiwan as a province of China. If and when they update their country list we will update ours. I know that this is not necesarily what everyone wnated to hear but I hope that it will a, at least, clarify why it is like that! Cheers!
