The 2nd screen of d-i: /---------------------[Choose *country*]-----------------\ | Choose your country: | | | | China | | Hong Kong | | Taiwan | | | | | \_______________________________________________________/ This is ridiculous. Nobody calls Hong Kong a country. When it comes to Taiwan: Taiwan is a province of Republic of China and The People's Republic of China considers Taiwan part of its sovereign territory[1]. Now something about the independence movement[2]: It is a political movement whose goal is to create a sovereign, independent Republic of Taiwan out of the lands currently administered by the Republic of China. It is supported by the pan-green coalition on Taiwan and opposed by the pan-blue coalition and the People's Republic of China, which favor Chinese reunification.
