ANSWER:
It was 2007 when the Taiwanese government decided to separate from the mainland China and seek its own autonomy, separate and apart.
Step-by-step explanation:
- At present Taiwan is operated independently and is not related to government of china in any way.
- Taiwan presently has the democratically elected government as it has been separated from the "mainland china".
- The currency used in Taiwan is different from china. They mostly prefer to use their own Taiwan dollar.
