 * Support During the poll, some user showed their absolute absense of knowledge about Taiwan. Some post “” or something like that - clearly they did never think about whether Taiwan is the common name of the Republic of China, the free area of the Republic of China, or something other. If you asked them ""common name of what?"", they would reply ""you idiot, of course the Republic of China!"" But once asked ""do you know the difference between the Republic of China and the free area of the Republic of China?"", they would say ""WTF are those weird terms!"".  
 :* Similar case occured on China. Some people may post “” without thinking. If you asked them ""common name of what?"", they would reply ""you idiot, of course the People's Republic of China!"" But once asked ""do you know the difference between the People's Republic of China and mainland China?"", they would say ""Of course! Mainland China is the mainland of the People's Republic of China.""
