Usage in Cambodia[edit]

"Cambodia
In 2018 in Cambodia, a gang of Chinese men yelled to a British man tattooed "Taiwan" on his forehead in Mandarin "Taiwan, China", but he was physically assaulted when yelling back "Taiwan, Taiwan".[23]"

An interesting anecdote, but what does it have to do with usage of the term in Cambodia? --217.24.224.100 (talk) 02:45, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In deference to the PRC's claim, the United Nations for official purposes calls the Taiwan Area "Taiwan, Province of China".[1] "Taiwan, Province of China" appears as a disputed name in the ISO 3166-1 list of two letter country codes. A variant of this name, "Taiwan, China", is seen in other contexts. The FAQ for the ISO list[2] attributes the provincial styling of the area's name to the UN Bulletin list of country names, which lists the names of countries in the official languages in use by the UN. The UN bulletin[3] does not in fact contain any name for Taiwan, Formosa, or the TW code. The ISO country code for the area is "TW" under ISO 3166-1.[4] Along with Hong Kong and Macao, Taiwan is also included as subdivisions of China in ISO 3166-2:CN as "CN-TW".[5]
