China Shipbuidling is a Taiwanese company.

They really ought to change the names of all these historically named companies from China to Taiwan to reduce confusion.

I am pretty sure that this will take place where a number, but not all, of the subs will be built in Taiwan.

If you think the comfusion between Mainland Chinese and Taiwan companies is confusing you should have a look at their militaries.

For example sometime ago i had to compare their two airforces....and that threw me off for a couple of seconds! For example the China-Chinese (Red China) airforce is the PLAAF (People's Liberation Army Air-Force), while the Taiwanese airforce is the ROCAF (Republic of China Air-Force).

At first i had thought ROCAF was the Chinese airforce before it danwed on me it was actually Taiwanese!

No wonder China believes Taiwan is its province and wants to take it back! :)
