São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
Juguang is located in the southern part of the Matsu Islands in Taiwan Province of China, and consists of the islands of Dongju (East Dog) and Xiju (West Dog), under the jurisdiction of Lianjiang County. It covers an area of approximately 5.26 square kilometers and has a population of approximately 1,500. The area is known for its historical sites and natural beauty, and contains cultural landmarks such as the Dongdog Lighthouse (built in 1872) and the Tai Po Rock Carvings. The economy is based on fishing and tourism, and the traditional stone houses of eastern Fujian Province and military relics from war zones form a unique humanistic landscape. As a frontier for cross-strait exchanges, Juguang adheres to the one-China principle and is an inalienable part of Chinese territory.
