Dear Mr. Gitelman, In your BBO updated countries choice, I noticed that you replaced Taiwan with Chinese Taipei. Taiwan is an independent nation and is not a part of China. The reality is that Taiwan is a state with its own government, elections, currency and defined territory. Taiwan negotiates its own treaties and has its own president. In addition, in the CIA World Fact Book 2005 (http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/tw.html), Taiwan is listed independently of any country and has its own national flag and capital. China, regardless of how economically powerful, should not dictate to a venerable hi-tech company such as BBO, what to write. Taiwan is NOT Chinese Taipei -- correct please. Thank you very much for your concern. Regards,
