There is an on-going edit war on whether Ambassadors sent to the Republic of China (Taiwan) can also be referred to as Ambassadors to China and added (in a sub-category) to Category:Ambassadors to China.
My arguments in favour of this inclusion are the following:
Category:Ambassadors to China is not exclusively for the PRC, it also includes ambassadors to Ming China, Qing China, Republic of China etc.
Countries that send (or sent) ambassadors to the Republic of China government in Taiwan do it when they recognize it as the legitimate diplomatic representative of China, and it is this country's only ambassador to China at that time.
What are the opposing arguments, besides telling that it's an April's Fool Joke [1][2], or that I don't know what I'm doing [3]? Place Clichy (talk) 11:30, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I support keeping Category:Ambassadors to Taiwan as a sub category of Category:Ambassadors to China but oppose the equivocation in article/content space of Taiwan (ROC) and China (PRC). The fact that only 15 countries in the world send ambassadors to Taiwan and not Peoples’s Republic of China, bolsters the argument to explicitly distinguish between the two, per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:ASTONISH.
