How do you express this with a C compiler? You don't.

I suggest dropping Taiwan from the list entirely until they make up their
minds.  Software development is the wrong place to argue politics.

(note, I *DO* have my own opinion on this matter, and it's probably not
what you're guessing from my conservative approach here... but software
development is the wrong place to argue these sorts of things so I keep my
opinions to mailing lists which care about this topic!)
