They were responsive when I corrected that; I think they will be about your point about Taiwan. Unfortunately, a lot of people outside Asia (pretty much outside Taiwan) are ignorant of the issue.kushibohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10306033998028548550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-1128581150220106252005-10-06T14:45:00.000+08:002005-10-06T14:45:00.000+08:00I switched my yahoo profile from Taiwan, R.O.C. to...I switched my yahoo profile from Taiwan, R.O.C. to Taiwan, Province of China several years ago, sort of a joke.<BR/><BR/>I guess I am a trend setter.Red Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699964464336470134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-1128531022502885612005-10-06T00:50:00.000+08:002005-10-06T00:50:00.000+08:00So Google called Taiwan a province of China.

If they drop the "province of China" part now, then they'll get ten times a bigger earful from mainland Chinese people who'll cry that Google has hurt their national pride.
