"Republic of China" / "Taiwan"

I propose that the "RoC/Taiwan" entry be deleted. It is inaccurate and misleading. Germany has no diplomatic relations or dimplomatic mission to "RoC/Taiwan"....There is much material, easily accessible, verifying this, including the following:

The Federal Government has repeatedly reiterated that, like all EU countries, it remains committed to its One-China policy. - Federal Foreign Ministry website

[1]

The Federal Republic of Germany, like the vast majority of other countries in the world, follows a one-China policy and does not recognise Taiwan as an independent state. That is why it does not have any diplomatic relations with Taiwan; there are good, close cultural and economic ties however.

Why does the article tell the lie that France has a diplomatic mission to "RoC/Taiwan"?. Regards.Redking7 (talk) 11:51, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

This has nothing to do with France. And there is a German institute in Taiwan, as well as a Taiwan Economic and Culture Institute (or whatever the name) in Germany. Leaving that information out and the plain knowledge that this replaces real diplomacy somewhat, is, well, leaving information out. However, it might indeed be mentioned that this is about Taiwan, a province of China under control of a Chinese government (different from the Chinese government recognized by Germany as government of China); it has indeed no connection to the said Chinese government as such.--93.133.228.99 (talk) 13:43, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

I recently left Taipei, Taiwan and was connected to the Diplomatic Missions there. While Germany does not publicly recognize the Republic of Chine (Taiwan) - it has a very real mission there (like the USA and several of the EU nations - they call them Trade Offices). And they all grant Visas, sign agreements, and generally provide support in the form of guidance to the RoC government especially in Human Rights. There are some actual Embassies who do recognize Taiwan so it would be improper to delete this entry at this time. Scout pmh (talk) 08:34, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

Cyprus, Georgia, and Armenia

Cyprus is NOT part of Asia nor the Middle East. It is a part of Europe and the European Union. With a Greek-Cypriot population of 80%, majority Greek Orothox religion and Greek language there is NOTHING Middle Eastern about this island nation. Please refrain from placing it in Middle East category as it is NOT Middle Eastern. Same goes for Georgia and Armenia. Both are technically part of Europe as they lie north of the Caucus Mountain range. Anything south is considered part of Asia. Georgia is a possible candidate for EU Membership and Armenia has expressed interest in joing the organization within the next decade. Please refrain from adding these two former Soviet Republics with overall Christian populations to the Middle East. If you have something to discuss, do so on this page.

With regards to the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, no nation on earth recognizes that country except Turkey. Turkey realizes that it's recognition of this country will affect its chances of joining the European Union. --XLR8TION (talk) 20:46, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
