The map on page one of 'Situation report - 7' colors China red, and includes Taiwan in that coloring.
(There are currently five confirmed cases in Taiwan, so Taiwan should be colored beige on that map, not red.)
Where do you see that? I only see mention of "Taiwan" on the map, no mention of whether or not it's part of mainland China.
> which it's not
Regardless of whether it's "de-facto independent" and whether the mainland has a legitimate claim or not, the de-jure situation is that Taiwan is not recognized by the United Nations.
And I think now is not the time to argue about the validity of the the mainland-Taiwan situation. It's not even productive to do so. Besides, Taiwan has already restricted travel to and from China: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-health-taiwan-trave...
