All though it is currently not a Chinese province due to the dispute it is most certainly not a country. Very few places including the UN do not recognize Taiwan as a country mainly due to the fact that it has always been a province of China. As soon as mainland China converts to a democracy Taiwan WILL be a province of China again.

It is definitely a country. Taiwan has its own border controls, government, political system, military, legal system, currency, foreign policy and so on. Only the most one eyed CCP supporter would claim that Taiwan is not a country.

Taiwan is neither a fully sovereign country nor a province of the PRC. Its political status is contested with only 11 countries formally recognizing it (as of this writing), but many other countries (most notably the United States) still maintain informal relations and even provide economic aid and military support. The PRC is never going to establish control over Taiwan until they can militarily conquer it, which is seeming less and less likely every passing year. Thus, it's much closer to being a sovereign country than a PRC province and should be considered as such in quizzes like these.

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.

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.

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!
