While "Chinese Taipei" and "Taiwan" refer to the same geographical location, the term "Chinese Taipei" is commonly used in international organizations like the Olympics to avoid political controversy with China, which claims Taiwan as part of its territory. So, technically they are not the same, but they often refer to the same place.

If you need to upgrade your home service from 150A to 250A can you run the lines through the attic using a conduit?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is not recommended to run electrical lines through the attic using conduit for upgrading home service from 150A to 250A. Such an upgrade requires larger gauge wires and a dedicated service panel, which may not be suitable for attic installation due to insulation, temperature, and safety concerns. It is best to consult with a licensed electrician to determine the appropriate installation method for the upgrade.

Are China and Taiwan the same?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. China is the large land mass between Russia and Mongolia to the north, and India plus southeast Asia to the south.

Taiwan is an island nation off the southeast coast of China. It is populated by Chinese people, many of whom are descendants of those who fled with the Chinese leader, Chiang Kai Shek - when Mao took over mainland China in the late 1940s.

China still lays claim to Taiwan, but Taiwan is still an independent nation, of its own right, at present.

Who did Taiwan gain their independence from?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Following Japan's victory over the Qing Dynasty in the first Sino-Japanese war, Taiwan was ceded to Japan under the Treaty of Shimonoseki in 1895.

The Qing Dynasty was overthrown and Republic of China(ROC) was established in mainland China in 1912.

At the end of World War II in 1945, Japan surrendered and gave up Taiwan.

Meanwhile, because the Chinese Civil War between the ROC and the Communist Party of China is in progress, there was no appropriate representative government of China. As a result, to whom Taiwan should belong to after WWII was never legally decided.

However, the ROC lost the civil war and its government fled to Taiwan in 1949.

The Communist forces took control of China and founded the People's Republic of China (PRC) in the same year.

Since then, China and taiwan remained seperated.
