Fujian¹

  • /ˌfuːˈd͡ʒæn/
  • /ˌfuːd͡ʒiˈæn/

Where it comes from

From the Hanyu Pinyin romanization of the Mandarin Chinese pronunciation for 福建 (Fújiàn).

proper noun Fu Jian · Fichien · Fukien · Fu-kien · Fuhkien · Fokien

Reform here was a tenuous thing, dependent upon the ebb and flow of outsiders’ ambitions.
  2. A province of the People's Republic of China (mainland China), located on the southeastern coast. Capital: Fuzhou. Taiwan opened the links between its two small islands and China without talking to Beijing, which has grudgingly accepted the move but hasn't said how much it will cooperate. So everyone closely watched how the two ships were greeted in Fuzhou and Xiamen, the cities in the southeast Chinese province
  3. A nominal province of the Republic of China (Taiwan), consisting of Kinmen (Quemoy) and Lienchiang (Matsu) counties. Capital: Jincheng. Taiwan is good for the marine sports development for its good natural environment. Therefore, it is important to conduct a survey searching for appropriate resources and developing proper strategies for introducing proper marine sports to Taiwanese. This study, supported by the Sports Affairs Counci
