ISO 3166 is not an adequate solution to handle the political issue
between Taiwan and China, nor is it a political-neutral solution as
Kang-min Liu has explained.
However, the Freebsd community has been quite political-neutral by
respecting the voice of Taiwanese Freebsd users. We are not requesting
for a privilege, we just want the Freebsd community to be like how it
was before.
Please use "Country/Region" in the UI and keep "Taiwan" as "Taiwan"
instead of "Taiwan, Province of China".
Cheers.
