There is no any member can proof that "Taiwan Registration and Certification Authority Inc." is the country RA of Taiwan.
The question is go back to the source, Taiwan is not a member body of ISO and ITU. There is no one can resolve this problem. As Erwann said, no one can first use then get it first, but why the country code "2.16.158" could be?
To avoid this issue, I will try to apply PEN from IANA and use our private CP OID to enable the EV function in Mozilla.
