FusionCharts maps/worldwithcountries Taiwan

Recommended Posts

Hi,

It was just pointed out to us that upon upgrading to a newer version of FusionCharts, Taiwan is now included as being part of China. Is there a version with Taiwan as a separate country? This should probably be the default since most of your customers are likely residing outside of mainland China.

Hi there,

Sure, I can provided images.

At some point, Taiwan (as well as HK and Macau) was merged into mainland China as a single country in the FusionMaps "maps/worldwithcountries" (and possibly others as well but we haven't checked). Most countries outside of China consider Taiwan to be a completely separate country and showing them together as one is politically a problem for those residing outside of China or who have audiences outside of China (which is most people).

Most countries are fine rolling HK and Macau into mainland China, but doing the same for Taiwan is a problem. If you're experiencing pressure from mainland China to keep it that way (like many companies who have business in China are), at least giving customers the option to have them display separately should still be an option as that's certainly the larger market of the two.

If you need more info let me know.

We can just use the wiki page link you provided.

From that same wiki page, you can see that Taiwan is listed uniquely at #142: image.thumb.png.4d20761c13e49e0e515549c439ca1d00.png.

You can also see the different coloring on the map from that same wiki page: 2880px-Countries_by_area.svg.png

@Klakurka Taiwan is still not approved by the UN, hence we will be investigating the options and verify them, we are logging a request for the world with countries map update, we will revert back to you once there are any updates.
