I know you include colonial territories, but it would still be better to say French, British, Portuguese, Japanese empires.

Not really. The leaders of the ROC fled to an island. They never controlled any land that bordered land controlled by the PRC.

There's a difference between lines of control and borders. You're right that under a definition of "which Weberian areas of control did that authority with the greatest claim to representing China have its territory abut," you would have to list the PRC and ROC (as well as earlier Communist states within China).

Thailand does not have a common border with China. Before WWII, it was called Siam.

and it didn't have a common border with China then, either, so whatever you called it is somewhat irrelevant.

I guess it counts under both UK and India, which are already in the quiz.
"The Kingdom of Sikkim became a princely state of British India in 1890. After 1947, Sikkim continued its protectorate status with the republic of India. In 1975, the Indian military deposed the Sikkimese monarchy. A referendum in 1975 led to Sikkim joining India as its 22nd state." --wiki

Great quiz, but could British India, British Raj, French Indochina, Macau and Hong Kong be accepted as type-ins for UK, France and Portugal?
I didn't get these, because the colonies and territories were not actually part of these countries, so I never thought to type them.

Tuva bordered China between 1921 and 1944. It was a Soviet puppet state, but formally independent nonetheless, similar to the Eastern Block after WWII.
