The real issue is that ISO data polluted by political stuff; if we instead show "Taiwan, an independent country", it would be a bug for other people.
Taiwan should be named as "Taiwan", the most general and neutral name.

Taiwan and other regions deserve a separate entry in "Software Sources" because they have virtually independent Internet infrastructure and mirror sites, right?
The political status of a region is not relevant I'd say.
