We refer to the Republic of China (ROC) as Taiwan throughout this video. The government in Taiwan is called the ROC and officially still claims the entirety of China, just as the People’s Republic of China (PRC) does from Beijing. Many viewers have correctly pointed out that what we call the Taiwan flag is the flag of the ROC. We’re sorry for any irritation this has caused. An eagle-eyed viewer also spotted an error where we misspelled Palau – we’re sorry to have made the mistake but delighted you’re watching so keenly.

A Paraguayan reporter speaking English, with an Irish accent, on German TV. And it's a topic on China vs Taiwan.

It reminds me, back in December, 2017, UN resolution that condemned the United States' decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital and move its embassy. <b>Only 7 countries stood with the US and Israel position:</b><br>Guatemala, Honduras, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Palau and Togo.
