Hi,
Thank you for your comment. Yes, indeed I'm aware of the controversy. I make no actual decision on the names in the data myself, the data is a pure reflection of the IOS-3166 standard.
I'm aware of a long-running discussion over the name.
From wikipedia:
The ISO 3166 directory of names of countries and territories registers Taiwan (TW) separately from and in addition to the People's Republic of China (CN), but lists Taiwan as "Taiwan, Province of China" based on the name used by the UN under PRC pressure. In ISO 3166-2:CN, Taiwan is also coded CN-71 under China, thus making Taiwan part of China in ISO 3166-1 and ISO 3166-2 categories.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_status_of_Taiwan
There's also a section on the ISO-3166 page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1#Naming_and_disputes that mentions the naming dispute.
I hope you understand what this data is intended to be (a reflection of ISO-3166 standard) and what it isn't intended to be (a comment about the status of any nation in the data source).
