Taiwan: Encyclopedia II - China proper - Taiwan

Since both China proper and Taiwan are controversial topics, the question of whether Taiwan is included within "China proper" is thorny as well.

Such a point of view often bears a strong affinity with sympathy to other independence movements such as those in Tibet and Xinjiang, and would promote receptivity to the concept of "China proper" as an entity ...
