The Taiwan country code is +886 — reaching all 23.5 million Taiwanese + ~28 million mobile subscriptions across Chunghwa Telecom, Taiwan Mobile + FarEasTone. The world\'s semiconductor capital — TSMC alone makes ~92% of the world\'s most advanced chips.
Taiwan was assigned +886 by the ITU in 1964. Taiwan sits in ITU zone 8 alongside China +86, South Korea +82 + Vietnam +84. Taiwan retains its own ITU code despite the PRC's claims — the ITU uses "Taiwan, China" as the registered name.
