 Folks,
 
 Basically, as a Taiwanese, I second that is strongly offensive to
 people from Taiwan using the term "Taiwan, Province of China".
 Ironically, Taiwan authority never join the constitute of ISO 3166.
 
 I think this political issue will *NOT* be solved in the near future
 (well, before the shipping date of 8.0-R, even the 10.0-R). The best
 way to get rid of controversies is use the term "Country / Region"
 instead of "Country". And calling "Taiwan" as previously used.
 
 Thanks and please respect our culture.
