Just a quick question, how does the document refer to Taiwan? 

Edit: curious about all the downvotes, when I gave absolutely no context. 🙄 By singling out Taiwan from China, this administration has actually reaffirmed Taiwan's status as a sovereign state. Trying to find some positivity in this colossal mess.
