> Taiwan is included as part of China on this map

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...

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.)
