NO!!!!! TAIWAN IS NOT PART OF CHINA. IT IS A SEPARATE COUNTRY. AS AN AMERICAN WHO'S PARENTS ARE FROM TAIWAN, THEY WILL TELL YOU IT IS NOT PART OF CHINA. PLEASE DO NOT SAY THAT IT IS PART OF CHINA AGAIN. THANK YOU.
Sorry to yell, but this is a sensitive subject in my house.

I don't much care what goes on in your house, TARAsiaFan, but I do have some comment as a geographer and that is that Taiwan is clearly a separate country. There was no slight intended by me. I made a transfer error (one of about 5 or 6 in the development of the 2 lists) and Taiwan was left off my original list of first-time visits when it clearly should have been listed with AR12. I am sorry this happened but I have fixed it.

I'm sorry if this is going to annoy you. But the fact is that Taiwan, even if you do not want to see it as part of China and a totally separate country, but Taiwan is still knows as the Republic of China.
And it is not nice to yell, because my point of the post is not to discuss whether China or Taiwan are two separate countries, but is solely based on the fact that i see it as part of China because even in Olympic games or any other international events, Taiwan is not recognized and used, but rather the Republic of China is used to represent Taiwanese instead. (Used to be and still maybe, the issues here are controversial and it's best we stop our discussion here) Besides, i was answering Raymond's question.

Thanks for compiling these lists - its really useful...
Noticed that you have Israel twice in the not visited list and Jordan seems to be missing.
And just because I like to stir the pot :stirtp: should the Palestinian territories be included as a separate country?

That wasn't directed at you, ap. It was directed at joab. And I personally don't care what happens at your house either, ap. It's not all about you, ap.

No problem, Joab. I did not mean to yell. My apologies for that.
For those who support an independent Taiwan, it's a sensitive subject. And yes, it's known as ROC, but that was by a government which wanted to represent what it once was. Unfortunately, it's still known as that. But again, as you mentioned, it's not for a discussion here. I just wanted to point out that Taiwan is not a part of China despite what the Communists or the Kuomingtang say. Right now, it's a separate country.
And the IOC kowtows to China in regards to Taiwan not being allowed to use its proper name. But even in the medal count, when Taiwan wins a medal, it's not counted as part of China's overall count. It's separate.
Ok, that's the end. No more Taiwan/China talk! We're done.
