Taiwan is an island located off the coast of mainland China across the Taiwan Strait, the East China Sea lies to the north. It is also called the Republic of China (ROC). The Democratic Progressive Party in April 2007 asserted it's power and formed a separate identity from China. High population and industrial waste has caused major pollution problems in many areas of this country.
