Incorrect "Country coordinate mismatch" reported for occurrence from Taiwan

Reporter: rdmpage
Type: Bug
Summary: Incorrect "Country coordinate mismatch" reported for occurrence from Taiwan
Description: Some occurrences for mosquitoes have the "Country coordinate mismatch" issue, such as http://www.gbif.org/occurrence/1264868050 This record comes from "Taiwan" (=Chinese Taipei) but is on Kinmen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinmen. This is politically part of the ROC, not the People's Republic of China (although obviously this *cough* disputed), so the record is correct. Can we adjust the geographic scope of Taiwan to include these islands and hence avoid flagging an issue in error?
