On a side note, black paint pigment is actually a very (very, very) dark blue. The "blue" anti-glare strip on the plane image might be simply an attempt to depict worn and weathered "black." It could also be the artist using blue as a "highlight" for black (a common feature of comic book art, most notably for Batman.) |

This post alerted me to my ignorance of the military conflicts between Taiwan and PRC, so it prompted me to read up on the Taiwan Strait crises. I was left with a question though, how the hell does Taiwan still hold the Kinmen and Matsu islands? |

No idea – I was surprised as well about the Taiwan boundaries. |
