Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What's the largest town in the Republic of China?

Answer: T'ai - pei

Of course there is but one China and it's called the People's Republic of China - but as long as there are some other people on that off-coast island in the China Sea who don't believe this and call themselves the Republic of China, the answer to this question might point to another place than Beijing, Shanghai or Hong Kong. What about T'ai-Pei? Or Taipei as some spell it.
