3.00@JoshuaWilkes based on the market resolution rules Taiwan will not count, because it already fits the rules when this question was created.
Like it or not, Taiwan behaves as an independent country, the full recognition of independence is just geopolitics at this point. Or the opposite is also very possible, but not part of this market.
