Taiwan tells Google it is not a China province
Taiwan's government has asked Web search company Google Inc. to stop calling the self-ruled island a "province of China" on its Google Maps service, the foreign ministry said on Tuesday.
China views Taiwan as a breakaway province and has threatened to attack the island of 23 million people if it pushes for formal statehood. The two split in a civil war ended in 1949.
Taiwan maintains it is a sovereign, independent state that is officially called the Republic of China.
