Bubble tea has a formal name which is called "Boba tea".

Kuomintang has an English translation of "Nationalist Party"

I usually hear it referred to as boba tea, although I did get the answer eventually. I definitely think that boba should be an accepted answer.

Writing something down doesn't make it true. According to the constitution of Venezuela, citizens have a right to employment, health care and freedom of expression. In reality, they don't. The United Nations can say whatever they want. They could say that the moon is made of cheese. It doesn't change the reality that Taiwan is an independent country.

It's not just the UN. Even in Taiwan's constitution it's also sitll a part of China.

+Citronnier Taiwan's constitution says that Taiwan is part of China, but that the ROC is the legitimate government. "China" is an entity greater than any party.

Fun fact: Taiwan also holds the original copy of the Treaty of Nanjing, meaning that Taiwan legally owns Hong Kong. But that isn't real, just like whatever the UN says.

The funny thing is that most Taiwanese would be happy to "relinquish their claim" to the mainland and simply concern themselves with their own independence. And if China simply admitted that a place with its own president, currency, military, immigration, passport, etc. was an independent country and let them live freely, then they could easily court Taiwan into their "diplomatic sphere". Instead, they threaten to "blow up Taiwan" and with their threats drive the majority of the people away from them into the arms of the USA and Japan.

@Quizmaster To classify things, you need to have clearly defined categories. "Cheese" is a fairly well classified category, however, a country isn't.

@Douglas216 - Weird then that China -- by which I assume you mean the People's Republic of China -- has no governmental control at all there, gets no taxes from them or cut of their GDP, and uses a different currency.

Countries that recognize Taiwan: Belize, Guatemala, Haiti, Vatican City, Honduras, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Palau, Paraguay, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Tuvalu. So we live in a world where it only takes 13 countries to recognize it to become a country? LMFAO If it is a country, why doesn't the US or the United Nations recognize it???

What the 13 countries recognize is the Republic of China, not Taiwan. The Republic of China was established in 1912, not 1949.

Could Kai Shek work for Chiang Kai Shek? Only Chiang works as of now. I know that the Chinese put the family name first but I feel like "Kai Shek" is enough to show that someone knows who the person is.

Because they're scared of breaking ties with China, a much more "powerful" country in terms of diplomacy. The United States citizens and government definitely show their support for Taiwan, giving aid, but the official stance is that the People's Republic is the "true" China so that trade relations don't break since the United States are so reliant on Chinese manufacturing. That's why alot of Americans are pushing on the "Made in America" stance, to stop the reliance.

Taiwan is certernly not a normal province of China, because it's a f*ing rebel province of China. If Taiwan can be a country, where is Northern Cyprus? Where is Somaliland? Where is Western Sahara? Where are the countless warlords in Syria, Afghanistan,....? Double standard can't make you wiser, seeing what only you like to see brings nothing but blindness.
