Taiwan is called the Republic of China, (also known as Formosa, although it only had this name for less than a year in 1895). Since 1960 it has had a very stable economy and since the 1990’s its form of government is a multi party democracy. The People’s Republic of China constantly tries to claim sovereignty over Taiwan, but as a Republic, Taiwan has grown in stature, has a highly skilled workforce, a highly educated population and has shown great success. Its capital is Taipei.
Taiwan was under Japanese rule from the beginning of the 20th century until Japan surrendered at the end of the 2nd World War in 1945. Locally printed stamps were overprinted with “Chinese Republic”.
