Thanks for your answers so far, but why are three Taiwanese cities recognised as major cities of South East Asia, yet the actual country is not?
There is a logical answer to this question. Your source is not officially recognised and thinks like most locals do, with no worldly wisdom. They cannot relate to the global meridians or map read and have no sense of orientation like my Taiwanese wife!
Although i will give her full marks for guessing the question right, though her map reading and orientation leaves much to be desired still!
South East Asian Cites are listed in many places do a search and I don't think you will find any of Taiwans Cities listed. So your source data is wrong.
