Template talk:Province-level divisions of China

message: Is there any reason why the "Manchurian" box for Liaoning, Jilin & Heilongjiang still needs to exist? As of now it's basically an eyesore on those pages.

:No it doesn't. It's redundant. Please remove it if it hasn't been already. --Jiang 00:11, 2 Jun 2004 (UTC)

It's ugly. We already know where to go to edit this page. The "go" button on the left is not hard to use. I also want to avoid linking to a section in the middle of an article, as is done for the link  "province-level". --Jiang 21:15, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: "Go" button? I think I'm missing something here... what are you talking about? -- ran (talk) 22:41, Sep 11, 2004 (UTC)
Where the search button is. --Jiang 23:43, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)

text: Is there a way to make the link colorless? Otherwise, we could do something like is done at Template:vfd, but the arrow given for external links fmt stands out too much. --Jiang 01:51, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)

message: Hello! I think that the line "Taiwan (see Legal status of Taiwan)" should be appended to the end the Provinces section, as it is considered a province, albeit a claimed one. The other entries in the "Territorial disputes" section actually belong to many of the other entries in the province and autonomous region sections. For example, Kinmen and Matsu Islands are claimed as part of Fujian Province. The Paracels and the Spratlys as part of the Hainan Province. South Tibet and the Four Villages of the Western Section (Demchok) as part of the Tibetan Autonomous Region. The Pratas Islands as part of the Guangdong Province. The Senkaku Islands, Penghu Islands, Taiwan and minor outlying islands as part of the claimed Taiwan Province. Geographically speaking, all of the above entries should be listed under the Territorial disputes section, and the entry for Taiwan directed to the geographical article about the island of Taiwan, with separate entries for the Penghu Islands. However this template seems to present a political view of subdivisions of the country. Thus, I think it would be logical to remove all entries in the Territorial disputes section (as they would have all been covered in the Province and Autonomou Region articles listed above), also appending Taiwan to the end of the Province section, linking to the article on the political subdivision "Taiwan Province, People's Republic of China", followed by the "see Legal status" note. --Shibo77 (talk) 05:18, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Regarding the Territorial disputes section 

message: Point (1) of Article 30 of the Constitution of the People's Republic of China talks only about provinces, autonomous regions and "municipalities directly under the Central Government". (Special administrative regions are provided for in Article 31.) The Provisions of the State Council on Administration of Administrative Division mentioned nothing about special administrative regions. The same is true with the Regulations on the Handling of Boundary Disputes between Administrative Areas, and the Regulations on Administration of Administrative Boundaries. The Circular of the State Council concerning the Abbreviation  of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and Its Place in the Order of Precedence in the National Administrative Division said nothing about the level of special administrative region. There is, therefore, no known source from legal or constitutional materials to classify special administrative regions as province-level divisions. 14.0.144.97 (talk) 06:59, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
