thats Taiwan. taiwan is a rather complicated place. they are chinese.
its called the Republic of China. whereas china itself is called The Peoples Republic of China. confusing yet? well taiwan wants to sovereign, and southchinaseadispute (https://bit.ly) china wants them to be completely chinese. the little bit of water that is between china and taiwan is filled with the US navy.
so if china decides to start bombing taiwan…we are in the middle.
