List of Asian countries

Hello. Just to make things clearer:

Have a nice day. Eliko (talk) 10:46, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) There is only one China.
 * 2) Please don't mix between "People's Republic of China", and "Republic of China", each of which has a different article in Wikipedia.
 * 3) It's disputed whether that "only one China" is what the government in Beijin calls: "People's Republic of China", or is what the government in Taipei calls: "Republic of China".
 * 4) There is only one "People's Republic of China" recognized world-wide (or more precisely: recognized by the countries which are recognized by the UN).
 * 5) What the government in Taipei calls: "Republic of China" is not recognized world-wide (or more precisely: recognized by 22 UN members only, i.e. not recognized world-wide).
 * 6) The article "List of Asian countries" is also about countries not recognized world-wide, e.g. Abkhazia, Palestine, South Osetia, Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, etc. Therefore it's also about what the government in Taipei calls: "Republic of China". For more details, see the List of unrecognized countries. This list includes other Asian unrecognized countries, all of which are indicated in the article "List of Asian countries". There should be no difference between these unrecognized countries.
 * 7) Wikipedia articles, including the article "List of Asian countries", must remain objective, and have never intended to resolve any international dispute, including the dispute over the question: "which is the real China". That's why Wikipedia has dedicated different articles for different entities: "People's Republic of China" - which is recognized world-wide, and "Republic of China" - which is not recognized world wide.
 * 8) Please don't take it personally. If you still have any further questions, then please ask, and I'll try to answer.
