---------------------------------------------------------------------- Additional Notes for World Zone 8 Note: 886 is not officially assigned to Taiwan by the ITU (former CCITT). ITU country code documents have noted that the People's Republic of China has assigned 866 to Taiwan. 88x codes are not to be assigned until all the other 8xx codes are gone. (PRC and the United Nations claim that Taiwan is part of PRC.) The usage of 886 to reach Taiwan is ex-officio, though recognized by the statement that 88x codes are the last to be assigned. All the 87x codes are designated for the Maritime Mobile Service (Inmarsat). Original China list was sent by David Leibold from a 1991 English-language business directory of China; new and corrected area codes came from a 1993 business directory of China (English-language) with some additional information courtesy Ray Chow and verification through Bell Canada source.
