Bopomofo should not be listed here

Bopomofo was created by Wu Zhihui in 1912. Though Wu is citizen of Republic of China, he was not citizen of Republic of China (Taiwan) yet on the time.--Reke (talk) 03:33, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You're playing word games. Republic of China is the same thing as Republic of China (Taiwan), it's just that today Taiwan is the main island that ROC controls, doesn't mean ROC was somehow a different country. Today we commonly refer ROC as Taiwan, and ROC still follows its Constitution of the Republic of China, established in Nanjing. This argument is not valid.Kazuha1029 (talk) 03:38, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That will be strangeness. A citizen of ROC who never came to Taiwan and dead before 1945 can be list as a "Taiwanese" (Notice, the article title is "List of Taiwanese inventions and discoveries"). --Reke (talk) 03:45, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The method was adopted by the ministry of education, which was created during pre-war times, and that same ministry of education still exists today in Taiwan, hence Taiwanese. It's the same government from before vs today. Bopomofo is exclusively used in Taiwan for Taiwanese Mandarin as well as Taiwanese Hokkien, and to this date is still in use and strongly encouraged by the Taiwanese government. If that's not Taiwanese I don't know what is. Further, please note that the term "Taiwanese" to refer to people in Taiwan changed over time. Up until the 70s people generally still considered themselves as Chinese and the rightful government to mainland China. The word Taiwanese here refers to ROC today. And by that you should look at its entire history, including times in the mainland, not just recognizing its inventions only after it has taken over Taiwan from the Japanese.Kazuha1029 (talk) 03:58, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Whatever Taiwanese means, it should not be defined only as "citizen of Republic of China". Or Mao Zedong have ever been a citizen of Republic of China. Do you think it's reasonable to list "People's Republic of China" in the article?--Reke (talk) 04:14, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure what you mean here. If Mao invented something during ROC times then yes it'd be ROC invention. If you later on made an invention in PRC times, it'd be PRC invention. Please note that Wikipedia defines Taiwan being a common name of Republic of China, so there's nothing wrong with the way the article stands and has been the consensus for a long time, until you showed up.Kazuha1029 (talk) 04:27, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Mao has ever been a citizen of Republic of China.
  2. PRC is invented by CCP led by Mao.
  3. So, PRC is invented by Taiwanese Mao.
Do you agree this?--Reke (talk) 04:34, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
