Answer 1

taipei. taipei is in Taiwan

When China's aging Manchu Dynasty was overthrown following the rebellion of 1911, a Nationalist government in 1912 proclaimed the Republic of China (ROC), led by Sun Yat-sen. Naturally, this government wanted to oust all colonialists, not only Europeans but also Japanese, and not just from the mainland but from Taiwan as well. On Taiwan, however, the Japanese held on, using the island as a source of food and raw materials as well as a market for Japanese products. To ensure all this, the Japanese launched a prodigious development program involving road and railroad construction, irrigation projects, hydroelectric schemes, mines (mainly for coal), and factories. Farmlands were expanded and farming methods improved. While mainland China was engulfed in conflict, Taiwan remained under Japanese control. Not until 1945, when Japan was defeated in World War II, did Taiwan become an administrative part of China again. But only briefly. As we noted earlier, the Nationalists, under the leadership of Chiang Kai-shek, now faced the rising tide of communism on the mainland, and the ROC government fought a losing war. In 1949, the flag of the Republic of China was taken to a last stronghold: offshore Taiwan. There, Chiang and his followers, with their military might, weapons, and wealth taken from the mainland, established what they (and the world, led by the United States) proclaimed as the legitimate government of all China. On the island, the Nationalists, helped by the United States, began a massive reconstruction of the war-damaged infrastructure. In the international arena, the ROC represented the country; in the still-young United Nations, the Nationalists of Taiwan occupied China's seat. On the huge mainland, however, it was the communists in Beijing who ruled and called their country the People's Republic of China (PRC). Thus was born the two-China dilemma which still confronts the international community. When the ROC was ousted from the United Nations in 1971 to make way for the PRC, legitimacy was also transferred.
