Category:Insurance companies of the People's Republic of China[edit]

Rename to Category:Insurance companies of mainland China to better reflect the coverage of the category. — Instantnood 13:02, Feb 13 2005 (UTC)

    • Quoted from Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Chinese): "The term "Mainland China" is a term which can be used when a comparison is to be made with Taiwan for non-political purposes. Hong Kong and Macau are generally not considered part of Mainland China, but are under the jurisdiction of the PRC. Thus, it is appropriate to write "many tourists from Hong Kong and Taiwan are visiting Mainland China." ". Obviously "mainland China" is the appropriate term to describe the situation where Hong Kong and Macao (and the territories under the ROC) are excluded. — Instantnood 19:18, Feb 16 2005 (UTC)
    • By nominating, I support renaming. — Instantnood 19:20, Feb 16 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose We should use official country names. If recatogisations are required, this isn't the way to go about sorting that out. Wincoote 20:46, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Rename this is not about politics--JinFX HuangDi 1968 00:00, 2005 Feb 14 (UTC)
  • Rename as long as the various Insurance companies of categories are not overlapping but form disjoint sets, it seems reasonable not to be bound solely by formal national divisions. Courtland 01:05, 2005 Feb 14 (UTC)

      • Thank you. But I'm afraid even for politics-related topics the categories would still have to be separated and renamed, to better reflect their coverage, that Hong Kong and Macao are not included. The category on political parties would be a good example. — Instantnood 18:25, Feb 14 2005 (UTC)
  • I created this category and named it this way because of the apparent preference for the use of official country names. Neutral becuase of the apparent community preference for formal country names. By the way I can only count two insurers that operate in Mainland China that are headquartered in Hong Kong.

    • Well I guess this category, like other categories for insurance companies, groups insurers according to their place of headquartered or registration, but not where they do their business. Many insurers are in fact multi-national. — Instantnood 18:29, Feb 14 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose - agree entirely with Wincoote, jguk 13:02, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Rename This is not a political topic. Using "People's Republic of China" carries more baggage, since we make a statement by leaving out the Taiwanese companies. Mainland China v. Hong Kong v. Macau v. Taiwan is as neutral as it gets. Besides, Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau are treated as separate economies, so it makes sense to keep economic categories separate. --Jiang 21:19, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
    • Just a little bit of comment: Personally I think "Republic of China" or "Taiwan, Pescadores, Quemoy and Matsu" is much better than just say "Taiwan". Matsu Islands and Quemoy are neither part of the Taiwan Province nor near the island of Taiwan. They are excluded by using the term "Taiwan". — Instantnood 21:31, Feb 16 2005 (UTC)
  • I was going to oppose, but it seems the change has already been made. What constitutes a consensus these days? Anyway, as this seems to have been "resolved", I'll clean it up. -Kbdank71 15:57, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
