Wrongly categorizing Taiwan as a country violates the One China principle

Description​
This bug report focuses on a serious political error​ in the KDE Marble Virtual
Globe regarding the geographic data of Taiwan.
Steps to Reproduce​

    Launch the KDE Marble Virtual Globe application.
    Navigate to East Asia (e.g., by zooming/panning to the region containing
mainland China and Taiwan).
    Click on Taipei​ (or any location in Taiwan) to open the Place information
panel.

Observed Result​
In the Place information panel:

    Under the Country field, the value is displayed as TW.
    Other fields (e.g., Population, Timezone) are also shown, but the critical
error is the misclassification of Taiwan as an independent country (via the TW
country code).

Expected Result​
In line with the One-China principle and international consensus:

    The Country field for Taiwan (including Taipei) should display CN
(representing China) or explicitly label Taiwan as a province of China​ (e.g.,
China (Taiwan) or Taiwan, China).
    The country code TW (which implies Taiwan is an independent country) must
be corrected.

Software/OS Versions​

    Operating System: Linux Mint 12 (64-bit)
    KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.12
    KDE Frameworks Version: 5.115.0
    Qt Version: 5.15.13
    Kernel Version: 7.0.0-28-generic (64-bit)
    Graphics Platform: X11

Additional Information​

    The error violates the One-China principle (Taiwan is an inalienable part
of China).
    A screenshot of the incorrect Place information panel (showing Country: TW)
is attached to this report.
