 == China/Taiwan == 

 Why are we calling Taiwan the ""Republic of China (Taiwan)""? Ninety nine percent of RS just say ""Taiwan."" Nobody else, nobody at all, is calling it this. Every single Taiwanese I've ever met says ""Taiwan"" and ""China,"" just like native English speakers do. Whether they want the trade pact or they don't, the country the trade pact is with is ""China."" I never see this ROC/PRC nonsense anywhere except Wikipedia. ""Chicken cutlet girl"" doesn't just know how to cook. She also knows that she lives in Taiwan.   "
