Excuse me, but Hainan is not a SAR in PRC, it's a Special Economic Region as a provincial unit. -Jesse
- The SAR designation is for the ROC time period, not PRC. The map does show Hainan as a province under PRC administration. Pryaltonian 07:52, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Mongolia Area
Why is there a section of the map called Mongolia area? It is confusing as one is may not be sure as to whether it is part of the P.R.C. or not.Dyamantese 17:34, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
- Because ROC claims Mongolia to be part of China. White represents the area claimed by ROC and not the PRC. --Naus 05:42, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not so sure about that. It seems to be limited to maps - not Taiwan's government's actual claims. [1]. Mlewan 10:20, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
- I'd have to agree with Mlewan, as the linked article, from 2002, indicates:
Although the Republic of China had actually recognized Mongolia's independence in 1946, the KMT government, which embraced the "Greater China" mentality, claimed legitimacy and sovereignty over China, including "Outer Mongolia" as part of the nation's mainland territory. The relationship between Taiwan and Mongolia experienced a tremendous breakthrough in January this year when the Mainland Affairs Council amended its administrative orders, which are based on the Statute Governing the Relations between the People of the Taiwan Area and the Mainland Area (兩岸人民關係條例), to exclude "Outer Mongolia" from the statute's scope. That means that because the Taiwan government recognizes Mongolia as an independent sovereign state, Mongolians, who are now considered foreigners, are required to have visas if they want to visit Taiwan.
- Mongolia Area is 蒙古地方 in Chinese (蒙古 = Mongolia; Area = 地方).--Jusjih 14:52, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Taiwan
As far as I know the PRC also claims Taiwan as part of it, but the map does not seem to include Taiwan as part of PRC's map. Is there a reason for that? Aran|heru|nar 01:10, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 64 villages and other areas in the vicinity not colored white
Across the Amur River is a part of land (Heixiazi) claimed by the P. R. C. but not the R. O. C. I believe that it is represented on the map but not colored white like Mongolia and other regions that the R. O. C. has not relinquished its claims as the P. R. C. has.
