The world map calendar published by the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) in 1955 was printed by Maschinenfabrik Augsburg-Nuenberg A.G. (Augsburg-Nuremberg Machine Factory). Among them, the November page featured a Map of Far East, which showed China and its surrounding waters. Xisha Qundao in the South China Sea was marked "Paracel Islands" with the annotation "Chin." (Editor's note: abbreviation for China) in the square brackets below it.
