[cooperation-wg] Discuss ISO-3166 mark TAIWAN as a Provinces of China on the RIPE NCC website

Hi Jaap,

Thanks for sharing the official document! As far as I can see, it seems
that the Short name is marked as TAIWAN, PROVINCE OF CHINA.
https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:code:3166:TW

I will ask RIPE Support to check which ISO 3166 they implement, and back to
here ASAP.

Thank you!

Best,
Tsung-Yi Yu
