("The state is a political and geopolitical entity; the nation is a cultural and/or ethnic entity. The term "nation-state" implies that the two geographically coincide")
In Taiwan, "nation state" is translated as 民族國家.
(b) The author wrote, "When the Qing abdicated to be superseded by the republic, the fateful decision was made to hold on to the non-Chinese empire rather than shedding them in order to create a nation state (as was done in Turkey)."
However, it was victors of World War I that dismembered Ottoman Empire. See

Quote:
"Sonia Gandhi, president of the Congress party, has criticised delusions of superpower status when most people still live in the countryside, many on less than $2 a day. Top officials issue regular reality checks. India was not a superpower and did not have ambitions to be one either, said Meera Shanka, India's ambassador to Washington, earlier this month.
"Other checks on India's global ambitions are * * * states within India - such as Kashmir, Nagaland and Manipur - unhappy under New Delhi's rule.
My comment: in the print but not online, there is this sentence after the first quote, to serve as the end of that paragraph: "'A siginificant actor in global affairs' is the preferred nomenclature."
