 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.
 Whiteg
