Taiwan. UN Membership Referendum 2008
By Alex Kireev
Question 5:
In 1971, the People’s Republic of China joined the United Nations, replacing the Republic of China and causing Taiwan to become an orphan in the world. To strongly express the will of the people of Taiwan to enhance Taiwan’s international status and participation in international affairs, do you agree that the government should apply for UN membership under the name “Taiwan”?
Question 6:
Do you agree that our nation should apply to return to the United Nations and join other international organizations based on pragmatic, flexible strategies with respect to the name [under which we apply to and participate in them]? That is: do you approve of applying to return to the United Nations and to join other international organizations under the name “Republic of China,” or “Taiwan,” or other name that is conducive to success and preserves our nation’s dignity?

Taiwan is part of China.

Paul, of course it is. On the main paige of Taiwan http://www.electoralgeography.com/new/en/taiwan we actually put a note saying that. But also notice that we have Greenland, Quebec, Scotland, Texas and other territories on our website, which are not idependent countries.
