Google, the most used Internet search engine, lables the island of Taiwan a province of China in its map section. It faces protests from Taiwan. In a recent protest letter to Google, the pro-independence Taiwan Solidarity Union says "Taiwan is an independent state, not a province of China. The only country in the world that thinks that Taiwan is a province of China is China,." Google said its description of Taiwan as a province of China is consistent with international naming conventions such as those followed by the United Nations.
