This article is part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Taiwanese counties.
"...is nominally in Lienchiang County". Doesn't "nominal" mean that the Matsu aren't really administered in power by the ROC? But they are under the control of the ROC, completely. The modern and official facilities on the Matsu are built by the ROC, aren't they? And the officials definitely are paid for, legally, by the ROC, since they represent the ROC. Of course, the PRC claims the Matsu, but it claims the entire Taiwan as well. Does it mean then, that Taiwan is also nominally in the ROC? -- Menchi 07:56 29 Jun 2003 (UTC)
I tried to find a complete list of the 19 islands' names, but couldn't. Maybe many are unnamed because unexplored and uninhabited. -- Menchi 07:03 30 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Following is moved from Talk:Lianjiang
(merge Lienchiang into Lianjiang? -- Jiang [Summarized])
> The People's Republic of China controls the part of the county > adjoining the mainland and has a separate administration for that > jurisdiction, Lianjiang County, which claims the entire archipelago to > be its Mazu Township (妈祖乡). Are the islands considered Mazu Township? Is this fact correct? Wouldn't an area that big be bigger than a township? Moreover, Mazu is not listed under the lists of townships on Lianjiang on the Lianjiang page. Can somebody clarify?

Move finished
So there are 2 Lianjiang counties: one under the PRC and the other under the ROC control: y dont we rename both?
Lianjiang County, People's Republic of China and
Lianjiang County, Republic of China
Hanyu Pinyin is now the legal standard in the ROC, the same as in the PRC...
Mazu is not an official name, its just the common name...
We have Taiwan Province (ROC) and Taiwan Province PRC
Just now i watched: wiki this: "Taoyuan County": it shows 2 taoyuan counties: both reflect a geographical differentiator in their name (Taiwan and Hunan, shouldnt we follow that? Gumuhua ( talk) 18:16, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
The statement: "This is the first example of a local government officially wishing to change its name." Is this first EVER in the world, or in Taiwan, or in the history of China? Newfoundland in Canada officially changed its name to Newfoundland and Labrador after unofficially using the name for many years. -- Mistakefinder ( talk) 12:54, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi,
I just checked power stations of taiwan, and since in Nangan is one 15.4 MW Diesel, and I did not find any other in the "Matsu Islands" (only the largest are shown seperated by fuel source), 15.4 MW is not much, but now "low" too... However, than I saw this map since I thought it would be a place with not so many citizen and no real towns or even cities, 15,400 kW is a lot for private use to a small population, especially if you use modern energy efficient things, but there is also a massive 2,000 MW fuel oil-fired power station, and 2,000 MW is really large, this station is one of the largest consumer of fuel oil for power stations in the world if it is not just a standby-powerplant, but I do not think so... Taiwan gets now since oil price crash 2014 a discount from OPEC members to the anyway alrready low prices, the discount was/is(?) up to 5% to hold/win market share, since Russia could offer to supply, or Malaysia, Brunei... China could re-export but I think because of the difficult diplomatic status this is no real option.
For example ~10% of the whole US electricity consumption is done by refrigerators, I think the very large and big for warehouses, stores etc... and I think it is quite warm there?!
combined with the Home refrigerator... I just checked the European Energy-Efficiency standards from A+++ down to B (could only find 2 "B Models"), A and A+ are the cheapest mass-produced, however in the US it is heavy, but I do not know the clima there, in South US and Hawaii of course there is a large need... a refrigerator with a room temperature of 17° Celsius is using of course less energy for cooling than one which is staying right in the sunlight and where the temperatures are above 30° Celsius (which would be 86° Fahrenheit), and in the South there are often temperatures above 30° Celsius... 35° Celsius is already 95° Fahrenheit but possible in Florida, Texas, California etc for more than only 1 or 2 days a year...
but back to the card:
How far is the smallest distance between Taiwan Islands and "Peoples Republic China" Mainland or their Islands?! Greetings Kilon22 ( talk) 12:29, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

Should we move this article to Mazu Islands? Pinyin is the government standard now. Placenames in the ROC are now always in pinyin, unless they are on this list. Matsu Islands is not (as it is not the name of a county). So why would we keep the old spelling, instead of moving this page to Mazu Islands? De wafelenbak ( talk) 11:13, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
