Republic of China is the correct name.

A liberal would refer to it as a province of the Peoples Republic of China.

In the future the name may become the Republic of Taiwan.

Another liberal Wikipedia entry. The country is listed as "Republic of China (Taiwan)"

That's what they are officially called by the Taiwanese themselves.

With the KMT in control of Taiwan in 2008, I doubt that'll be in the near future.

As a handy guide, whenever you see the words "Democratic Republic" in the name of a country, it is neither.

“..the encounter caused the carrier group “to halt and ready for battle...”

WTH???

When we went to General Quarters we always increased our speed. We sure as hell did not halt or stop.

We need more of those EP3 pilots who’d give a little “wing swat”.

My Ex was assigned to the USS Kitty Hawk when I was married in another lifetime. ;)

I’ve been on her many times. You go, Girl! :)
