Two countries?

edit

Taiwan Relations Act: "The act provides for Taiwan to be treated under U.S. laws the same as "foreign countries, nations, states, governments, or similar entities," thus treating Taiwan as a sub-sovereign foreign state equivalent.". Why would Taiwan be treated as a country in Wikipedia? I propose replace all reference to Taiwan as a country in this article.--The Master (talk) 17:12, 19 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Agreed, this article concerning an act is supposed to reflect the de jure status of Taiwan rather than the de facto one. --Aisakano (talk) 08:33, 22 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
The text of the Taiwan Travel Act actually uses the word "country" in reference to Taiwan. Therefore, "country" would seem to reflect the de jure status, at least within the context of this act. 5. Visits to a country by United States Cabinet members and other high-ranking officials are an indicator of the breadth and depth of ties between the United States and such country.

By de jure status, I mean the status that is thoroughly and well defined by law instead of a vague reference alone. --Aisakano (talk) 02:51, 24 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
I have fixed this in the article. Phlar (talk) 13:32, 26 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
