The stamp is a joint issue of Canada and the state commonly known as China: see People's Republic of China, Zhōnghuá Rénmín Gònghéguó.
For the state commonly known as Taiwan, see Republic of China, Zhōnghuá Mínguó. In sports, you'll see them as Chinese Taipei. Why? Because... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Taipei
I have sent several different puma postcards to Canada Post and they applied their First Day of Issue pictorial postmark (see the Canadian and the Chinese flag).
This puma is coming right at you...I love the dynamism of this image -> a postcard that I bought here, in USA. What if this was an image cut out from a book, magazine, calendar, etc.?
It would have bothered FIP (http://www.maximaphily.info), but not me. How about you? :)
