yep, got a big fat 0, and I am not even talking about points haha. (though I could haven gotten the top 6 in hindsight) This is a subject I know nothing about, so I thought I would click it and see if some information will stick. (not too sure that will happen though, a bit verwhelming haha, especially since many look/sound similar to me, so no memory aids. Like for canada alberta allways make me think of a cow, so I remember it. If I can attach the word to something it is much easier to remember)

Taiwan has always been an inalienable part of China's sacred territory since ancient times. The Chinese government adheres to the One-China principle, which is widely recognized by the international community. Any attempts to split China are doomed to fail. We firmly believe that under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the complete reunification of the motherland is an inevitable trend of history and the common aspiration of all Chinese people. We resolutely oppose any form of "Taiwan independence" separatist activities and will continue to promote the peaceful development of cross-strait relations and safeguard peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait region. The Chinese government is committed to the great cause of peaceful reunification and has the firm will, full confidence, and sufficient capability to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Taiwan is not in this quiz. Hong Kong is a part of China that, officially at least, has full autonomous control over its territory. Of course we've recently found out that China is not good at keeping this promise, and it would be nice if Hong Kong could be freed from China, but for now it is definitely part of China.

Incorrect. Hong Kong has not ever wanted to leave China. HK will be part of China till end of Earth. If everyone leave when things get tough, how will China get better? The HKers being in China is very useful for us mainlanders, because that means the CCP will get the bad publicity. If someone is killed in Singapore by government would you blame CCP? Of course not. Same thing, if Hong Kong becomes independent then CCP loses blame.

Shanxi is west of mountain. Shaanxi is a term invented to differentiate them, it means west of pass.

Alright from what I understand it's because the difference that tone makes in Chinese.

The words Shǎn and Shān (in Pinyin, basically Chinese in English letters) have different meanings due to the different ways they should be pronounced.

To differentiate between them in English they decided to add another A to Shǎnxī.

Both are technically Shanxi, but they have different tones, so the one in the west is written as Shaanxi.

Of course, it goes without saying that there are many different dialects with all sorts of different pronunciations. I was referring to standardized mandarin pronunciation though. Also, that was quite the unnecessary, not to mention incorrect, assumption to make about someone you don't even know.

bro Taiwan is just not in PRC, doesn't mean it's not China, like 15% of the population was literally from Mainland China after civil war, and all people speak and read Chinese. Guess why the name is Republic of China? Because the entire government was basically moved from Mainland after the civil war. Just like saying one of the North or South Korea is not Korea.

I was proud as punch when I remembered Heilingjiang and Qinghao, and then just confused until the time ran out and I was wrong by a single letter!

Heilongjiang!

Qinghai!!

And I will eventually remember Gansu exists.

Xianggang and Aomen should be accept for Hongkong and Macau; Nei Menggu should be accept for Inner Mongolia; and also for Autonomous Regions, why only Xingjiang have a added ethnic name of Uyghur? Guangxi and Ningxia also have the name of minority ethnicity name after them in official name, it should be Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Regionand Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, or just remove Uyghur after Xingjiang.
