    It’s “political” in the sense that it involves politics. I think you mean to say that it isn’t “controversial” outside of China, but I would still disagree. A lot of countries are more influenced by China than Americans and Western Europeans, and are reluctant to use the name Taiwan or imply they are an independent nation.
