Taiwan is a medium-sized Archipelago in East Asia , located at 23°30N, 121°00E and running through the middle of the Tropic Of Cancer (23°5N). It makes up the majority of the territories effectively under the control of the Republic Of China . The main island is Taiwan Island, which comprises about 98 % of the current jurisdiction of the Republic of China; the other 2 % consists of the smaller islands of Orchid Island and the Pescadores , along with the tiny islets of Green Island and Hsiao Liuchiu . Taiwan Island is separated from Mainland China by the Taiwan Strait , which ranges from 220km at its widest point to 130km at its narrowest point.1 Taiwan is bounded by the Bashi Channel in the south, the East China Sea in the north, and the Pacific Ocean in the east.2(The islands of Kinmen , Matsu , Wuchiu , etc. across the Taiwan Strait , and Pratas and Taiping in the South China Sea, are also administered by the ROC.) |
