 ::::Thanks for that explanation, which is (genuinely) interesting but doesn't of course impact directly on how we use English terms, as I read the IP's comment as trying to suggest. I also of course agree with the point that sometimes the English word ""Chinese"" does have a broader, ethnic/cultural meaning and sometimes therefore you might keep Taiwanese X as a subset of Chinese X (food perhaps, off the top of my head, might be one such example). However, as we both seem to agree, when people talk these days about Chinese people, Chinese companies or Chinese law or whatever, they are usually talking about things of or from the modern nation, less Taiwan, which is treated separately (just as, say, we wouldn't generally make Austrian categories sub-sets of German ones). Categories of the formula ""X in Taiwan"" that had the ""X in China"" category included as a parent were especially problematic. Anyway, I think between us we've picked most of them off.
