!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] officially the Republic of [China] (ROC), is a [state] in East [Asia] which neighbors include the People's Republic of [China] (PRC) to the west, [Japan] to the northeast, and the [Philippines] to the south. [{$pagename}] is the most populous state and largest economy that is __NOT__ a member of the United Nations.
The island of [{$pagename}], formerly known as [Formosa], was inhabited by aborigines before the 17th century, when Dutch and Spanish colonies opened the island to mass Han immigration.

The Qing ceded [{$pagename}] to [Japan] in [1895|Year 1895] after the Sino-Japanese War. While [{$pagename}] was under Japanese rule, the Republic of [China] (ROC) was established on the mainland in [1912|Year 1912] after the fall of the Qing dynasty. Following the [Japan] surrender from [World War II] to the Allies in [1945|Year 1945], the [China] took control of [{$pagename}]. However, the resumption of the Chinese Civil War led to the ROC's loss of the mainland to the Communists, and the flight of the ROC government to Taiwan in [1949|Year 1949].

As a founding member of the United Nations, the [China] represented [China] at the UN until [1971|Year 1971], when it lost its seat to the PRC.
