Usage notes
While both the Republic of China (Taiwan) and the People's Republic of China (mainland China) both claim the whole extent of Fujian Province, the term Fuchien is generally only used in English to refer to those parts under the control of Taiwan. In more recent years, however, it has become less common, being generally supplanted by en Fujian.
