From Sweden everything looks fine: e.g., Puli Township, Taiwan; Hengchun Township, Taiwan; Kinmen Airport, Kinmen and Matsu Islands, Taiwan.

But I've only seen it as "Taiwan Province, Taiwan"... which is a pretty pan-green way of putting it (maybe every island would be a province =p). <br /><br />Don't license plates still say something like Taiwan Province?Carloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079284428870214896noreply@blogger.com
