"used mostly" is not good enough.  Either they use all TC or all SC.
If not, then there must be a SC/TC equivalence

Yes, you are correct that .tw is the same as <.taiwan> and .cn is the
same as <.china>- BUT ONLY if the either the ISP or the client
downloaded special software.  Also, TC and SC are used interchangeably
regardless of country so <.taiwan> does not mean TC and <.china> does
not mean SC.  That is the whole point of TC<->SC equivalence.
