Taiwan? I think you mean Chinese Taipei.

No, I meant Taiwan. Chinese Taipei is only used in sports games.

Hate to break it to you, but even the US state department recognizes that there's no such country as Taiwan. Please call it by its correct name, "Chinese Taipei," so people know what you're talking about.

Yes, few country recognize Taiwan as a country. Fine. How are things going in Chinese Beijing?

I wish I knew, but it's hard to get a visa, so I'm stuck in my shithole country (United States).
