Ok, I removed the wink...I didn't want to bring politics in, but based on the "all-knowing" wiki, it's part of China...

I think the confusion is that what we generally call China is the People's Republic of China, whereas Taiwan is the Republic of China. Two separate countries and very confusing!

Yes to Taiwan. Your 2nd part is debatable.

That depends on who you ask. If you ask my father he will adamantly tell you it is NOT a part of China.

If the country guessing would have persisted I would have ultimately gone back to you questioning "China? Japan?" by responding with "It depends on who you ask.'

I'll also say that you are half right with Fongshan because the area this "thing" is in WAS known by a similar name.
