Premise: Taiwan ( [ taɪˈwɑːn ] ) , officially the Republic of China ( ROC ) , is a state in East Asia . Taiwan is the most populous state that is not a member of the United Nations , and also possesses the largest economy of any state outside of the UN . However , the resumption of the Chinese Civil War led to the ROC 's loss of the mainland to the Communists , and the flight of the ROC government to Taiwan in 1949 . Although the ROC continued to claim to be the legitimate government of China , its effective jurisdiction since 1949 has been limited to Taiwan and its surrounding islands , with the main island making up 99 % of its de facto territory . In the 1980s and early 1990s , it changed from a one-party military dictatorship dominated by the Kuomintang to a multi-party democracy with a semi-presidential system .
Hypothesis: Taiwan is a color.
