I never knew. Wild story.
Apparently:
- 19 UN member states recognize Taiwan (Republic of China) as an independent country
- 57 countries recognise the Taiwanese government as representative of the Chinese people but not as an independent entity
- The holy seat (Vatican city) recognizes them as a sovereign state
- There are 10countries that don't recognize China nor Taiwan
- Vatican city was the first country to give recognition (1942)
This is all new to me.
Ah yes, the privacy related indigenous tours of Lisbon. I'll be selfhosting them.
