message: Excuse me, but Hainan is not a SAR in PRC, it's a Special Economic Region as a provincial unit.

:The SAR designation is for the ROC time period, not PRC.  The map does show Hainan as a province under PRC administration. Pryaltonian 07:52, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Why is there a section of the map called Mongolia area? It is confusing as one is may not be sure as to whether it is part of the P.R.C. or not.Dyamantese 17:34, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

message: As far as I know the PRC also claims Taiwan as part of it, but the map does not seem to include Taiwan as part of PRC's map. Is there a reason for that? Aran|heru|nar 01:10, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Across the Amur River is a part of land (Heixiazi) claimed by the P. R. C. but not the R. O. C. I believe that it is represented on the map but not colored white like Mongolia and other regions that the R. O. C. has not relinquished its claims as the P. R. C. has.
:The above user (myself) used at the time IP 71.64.201.157. This obvious error still has not been fixed and, in addition, I just noticed a simmilar region Tibet which is also outlined, but not colored in. Could someone please fix this?--189.121.183.72 (talk) 04:26, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

message: READ before you ASSUME. During the Qing Dynasty, AFTER the Ming, the areas of Tibet, Inner Mongolia, Outer Mongolia, Tuva Protectorate, Outer Manchuria (Maritime Province, Russia) and Xinjiang were conquered. When, in 1912, the ROC was formed, these were all intact, until warlords fought each other for power and the country slowly crumbled apart. The Soviets forced Outer Mongolia to become independent (the People's Republic of Mongolia), and the British maintained influence in Tibet. Then, in 1949, once the Civil War / Revolution finished and the PRC was formed, China Proper, Xinjiang, Tibet and Inner Mongolia were controlled by the PRC, while the ROC retreated to Taiwan and its surrounding islands. Hong Kong was then still British, Macau still Portuguese. (Note to caps-lock spammers: THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PRC AND ROC.) The PRC claims that the administration of the ROC is no longer legal, as they have no control proper due to the 1949 war. The ROC argues that it can form a separate rule on the island of Taiwan. The ROC currently has NO POWER over its claimed areas; read "CLAIMED". During the Sino-Indian War, the PRC received land from Aksai Chin, and in 1997 and 1999, Hong Kong and Macau were returned respectively. Benlisquare 06:59, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I see that in the two articles where this map is displayed,  is present, but, if, in the future, someone wants to add this map to an article, that  be added as well.  is much more accurate, but doesn't have the provinces of the PRC.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.121.177.48 (talk) 16:43, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
