Wrong prediction of the future, Taiwan and China

I remember one prediction the producers and director got wrong in this movie. In one of the early scenes at a high-level international conference, it appears that Red China and Taiwan have become reconciled and are close allies, almost an 'Anschluss' like Nazi Germany and Austria in 1938. The Taiwanese delegates are dressed in military uniform and are as bellicose and belligerent as the emotional and angry communist Chinese delegates who angrily refuse to remove the orbiting nuclear space bomb (which oddly resembles an American 1960s space capsule).

You're imagining things. There were no Taiwanese delegates. There were two Chinese delegates, two from Earth II and two from the Soviet Union. If Taiwan and China had reunified, there would be no need to say "Red China" since there would be nothing to differentiate it from.

Maybe, maybe, maybe, since memories change and fade with age. I could have sworn each Chinese delegate announcing his origin, one from the People's Republic of China and the other one from the Republic of China on Taiwan. I also remember both Chinese delegates doing their best to show to the rest of the delegates what big, aggressive aholes they were.
