Updates to The Greater China Factbook

After a reference book is published, it is unavoidable that at least part of the information it contains is outdated before long. "The Greater China Factbook" is no exception. For example, less than a year after publication, there was a transition of power with a new president and a new government in Taiwan.
Even after the book went to press, I have been collecting information and material, and I kept track of events in the Greater China area. Many of the files posted in this blog are supposed to provide updated data and information for the users of my book, e. g. the lists of politicians in the PRC and the ROC (see Who's who in China's politics, post published in May 2008).
This file here is an extended version of the "Chronology of Greater China 1911-2006" in the Greater China Factbook (p. 295-389) and now covers events in China and Taiwan from 1911 until the end of 2014. [186 pages; file last edited/updated on Sun, Dec. 6, 2015]
This file here is a revised and extended version of "The History of China: A Summary" in the Greater China Factbook (p. 208-294) with improved layout. [81 pages; file last edited/updated on Thu, Feb. 26, 2015]
This file here is a revised, extended and updated version of "Excerpts from important documents" in the Greater China Factbook (p. 544-577) and shows more documents, most of them complete and unabridged. [116 pages, file last edited/updated on Thu, April 24, 2014]
