112-683: A Chinese-language region for the first time, forcing the need for an agreement. In 1989, the two Olympic committees signed a pact in Hong Kong where the PRC agreed to use the ROC's translation in international sports-related occasions hosted in China. Domestically, the PRC continues to use its own "Taipei, China" translation. During the 2008 Summer Olympics , Chinese state media used the agreed-upon Zhōnghuá Táiběi both internationally and in domestic press. However, during

During the 2020 Summer Olympics , most TV channels referred to
280-603: A stance against de-Sinicization policies. It criticized former Kaohsiung mayor Chen Chu for inviting the Dalai Lama and Rebiya Kadeer , who were seen as "separatists". The newspaper's editorials have been critical of the Chinese Communist Party regularly, on issues such as those related to the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre and the Nobel Peace Prize laureate Liu Xiaobo . United Daily News

The newspaper is owned by Wang Tiwu's daughter, Wang Shaw-lan . UDN is the flagship newspaper of
392-485: Is a country or that it is located in or governed by mainland China. Taiwanese Olympian Chi Cheng has described competing under the name as "aggravating, humiliating and depressing." Changing demographics and opinions in the country meant that more than 80% of citizens in 2016 saw themselves as Taiwanese, not Chinese, whereas in 1991, this figure was only 13.6%. This radical upswell in Taiwanese national identity has seen
448-445: Is ambiguous, and may refer to either the state or the culture. The ROC translates "Chinese Taipei" as Zhōnghuá Táiběi ( simplified Chinese : 中华台北 ; traditional Chinese : 中華臺北 ). The term " Zhonghua " is also used in the ROC's official name and state-owned enterprises. Meanwhile, the PRC translates the name as Zhōngguó Táiběi ( simplified Chinese : 中国台北 ; traditional Chinese : 中國臺北 ) or literally "Taipei, China", in

560-456: Is to keep Taipei isolated on the world stage and disagrees with any use of "Taiwan" as an official title, in order to prevent Taiwan from gaining international recognition for " independent statehood " separate from the PRC. The term "Taiwan, China" or "Taipei, China" was rejected by the ROC government because it could be construed as Taiwan being a subordinate region to the PRC. Popular opinion in Taiwan has changed drastically in regard to
616-815: Is used for labeling. Some wines from Kinmen are labeled "made in Kinmen", just as some perfume are labeled "made in Paris" and not "made in France". Therefore, the ROC government refused to accept the name of Taiwan during the period. In April 1979, the IOC recognized the Olympic Committee of the PRC and maintained recognition of the Olympic Committee located in Taipei at the 81st IOC Session held in Montevideo. The resolution left problems relating to

#1733084516440672-479: The 2020 Summer Olympics , state media began using Zhōngguó Táiběi domestically 93% of the time. During the 2022 Winter Olympics opening ceremony , China's state media's broadcast cut away to a clip of General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party Xi Jinping when Taiwan's delegation paraded as Zhōnghuá Táiběi . The broadcast in the stadium introduced the team as Zhōnghuá Táiběi , while
728-554: The Chinese Olympic Committee , with the PRC's anthem, flag and emblem. The Olympic Committee in Taipei was designated as the Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee , with a different anthem, flag and emblem from those the ROC used and which must be approved by the executive board.

784-455: The Kuomintang . Before Taiwan democratized, it was an opponent of political reform; in the years since Taiwan has democratized, it has advocated policies encouraging cooperation with the mainland.

840-518: The Miss Universe pageant in Panama , the first official Miss China and Miss Taiwan competed alongside each other for the first time in history, prompting the PRC government to again demand that Miss Taiwan assume the title "Miss Chinese Taipei".

896-809: The Olympic Games , including the World Trade Organization , the World Health Organization , the Metre Convention , APEC , and international pageants. "Chinese Taipei" is a deliberately ambiguous term, designed to be equivocal about the political status of the ROC/Taiwan . The meaning of "Chinese" ( Zhōnghuá , Chinese : 中華 ) is also ambiguous, so that either party is able to interpret it as national identity or cultural sphere (similar to ethnonyms as Anglo , Arab , Hispanic or Iranian ). The specific mention of " Taipei ",
952-529: The Taipei District Prosecutors' Office concluded that the minutes were forged but found no evidence of it being committed by the reporter himself. In addition, it criticized the reporter's unthorough verification with the Ministry of National Defense but noted that related reports covered responses from the government. The office decided not to press charges. On September 6, UDN said it apologizes to
1008-558: The World Health Organization (WHO) under the name of Chinese Taipei. The WHO is the only agency of the United Nations that the ROC is able, provided it is invited each year, to participate in since 1971. The terminology has spilled into apolitical arenas. The PRC has successfully pressured some international organizations and NGOs to refer to the ROC as Chinese Taipei. The International Society for Horticultural Science replaced "Taiwan" with "Chinese Taipei" in designation used for
1064-459: The capital city of the ROC, is to avoid disputes over the territorial extent of the ROC. Since the IOC has ruled out the use of the name "Republic of China", the neologism was considered as an expedient resolution and a more inclusive term than just "Taiwan" to both the Kuomintang , the ruling party of the ROC at the time during the Nagoya Resolution, and the PRC. The PRC's persistent policy
1120-594: The cross-strait relations and the nationalistic discourses since the democratization of Taiwan and the end of one-party rule by the Kuomintang. "Chinese Taipei" has since been viewed by many Taiwanese as an anachronistic, aggravating, and humiliating term. The Taiwan Name Rectification Campaign sought to alter the formal name from "Chinese Taipei" to "Taiwan" for representation in Olympic Games and further potential international events. A nationwide referendum
1176-708: The "T" group in IOC protocol order. Taiwan has competed under this name and flag exclusively at each Games since the 1984 Winter Olympics , as well as at the Paralympics and at other international events (with flags on which the Olympic rings are replaced by a symbol appropriate to the event). Both the Republic of China (ROC) and the People's Republic of China (PRC) agree to use the English name "Chinese Taipei". The English word "Chinese"

#17330845164401232-545: The 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The proposal influenced the East Asian Olympic Committee (EAOC) to revoke Taichung 's right to host the first East Asian Youth Games due to "political factors". An International Olympic Committee (IOC) representative reportedly said this was entirely the decision of the EAOC, and the IOC had no role in the ruling. The IOC also disapproved the altered name and sent three different warnings to
1288-562: The Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee ahead of the referendum vote, concerning the renaming issue which may disbar Taiwan from Olympic competitions. Taiwanese people voted during the 2018 referendum to reject the proposal to change their official Olympic-designated name from Chinese Taipei to Taiwan. The main argument for opposing the name change was worrying that Taiwan may lose its Olympic membership under Chinese pressure, which would result in athletes unable to compete in
1344-535: The Games could use delegation flags and anthems, instead of national ones. Juan Antonio Samaranch , the new president of the IOC , met Henry Hsu several times to discuss the ROC Olympic Committee's status in the IOC. In order for the youth to participate in the Olympic Games and counteract the PRC's strategy of isolating the ROC, the ROC government concluded that the ROC Olympic Committee should not withdraw from
1400-645: The IOC Executive Board meeting held in October 1979 in Nagoya . The resolution, known as the Nagoya Resolution , was approved in November 1979 by the IOC members, and later other international sports federations adopted the resolution. The Nagoya Resolution was welcomed by the PRC as the resolution followed the PRC's One China principle, whereas the ROC decided that the ROC Olympic Committee must strongly protest against
1456-633: The IOC. In 1981, the ROC government formally accepted the name "Chinese Taipei". A flag bearing the emblem of its Olympic Committee against a white background as the Chinese Taipei Olympic flag was confirmed in January. Based on the Olympic Charter amended at the 82nd IOC Session, an agreement was signed on 23 March in Lausanne by Juan Antonio Samaranch, the president of the IOC, and Shen Chia-ming,
1512-501: The Olympic Games or Asian Games. Meanwhile, Vietnam mostly follows ROC's translation and adapts the Sino-Vietnamese transcription to call Chinese Taipei as Đài Bắc Trung Hoa (alternatively Đài Bắc, Trung Hoa with a comma or Đài Bắc (Trung Hoa) with the brackets used; chữ Hán : 臺北中華 , lit. ' Taipei, Zhonghua ' ) likely due to the cosmetic and grammatical inconvenience when using direct English transliteration or
1568-656: The Olympics. Another proposal for the 2024 Summer Olympics was submitted to the Taiwan's CEC in 2021. The proposal was ultimately rejected by the CEC due to concerns that it might fall outside the scope of the Referendum Act of Taiwan , potentially rendering the Act inapplicable to the matter at hand. United Daily News United Daily News ( UDN ; Chinese : 聯合報 ; pinyin : Liánhé Bào ; Pe̍h-ōe-jī : Liân-ha̍p-pò )
1624-657: The PRC/China had their right of participation and would remain as separate teams in any activities of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and its correlates. This term came into official use in 1981 following a name change of the Republic of China Olympic Committee (ROCOC) to the Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee . This arrangement later became a model for the ROC/Taiwan to continue participating in various international organizations and diplomatic affairs other than
1680-523: The Parade of Nations, the French and English announcers both repeat the identical name "Chinese Taipei" in English. In East Asian languages that would normally transcribe directly from Chinese, an English transliteration is used instead to sidestep the issue. Thus Japan uses Chainīzu Taipei ( チャイニーズ・タイペイ ) while South Korea uses Chainiseu Taibei (차이니스 타이베이) for their respective-language announcements during
1736-474: The ROC as Team Zhonghua while some channels preferred Team Taiwan ( Chinese : 台灣隊 ). Use of the label came under vigorous renewed criticism during the run-up to the 2017 Summer Universiade , hosted in Taiwan. An English-language guide to the Universiade was lambasted for its "absurd" use of the label. The guide was rendered nonsensically by completely avoiding the name "Taiwan" not only when referring to

Only the English name would be used in

2632-416: The regions of the ROC. What people refer to as Taiwan is one of several areas or islands ( Penghu , Kinmen and Matsu in addition to Taiwan ) and Taiwan alone did not reflect the "territorial extent" of the ROC. Furthermore, although it is true that most products from the area controlled by the ROC are labeled "made in Taiwan", the trade practices of the ROC are such that the regional area of production
2688-488: The report. The minutes' format differed from what the Executive Yuan uses. Taiwanese officials and a U.S. think tank believed that it could be or was likely part of a Chinese government disinformation campaign, generating concerns from commentators.

The Taiwanese government and United States Department of State denied
2856-531: The television broadcast commentator of China Central Television announced the delegation's name as Zhōngguó Táiběi . The World Health Organization , the international organization to both have Chinese as one of its official languages and have the ROC officially participate, uses Zhōnghuá Táiběi in meeting minutes when the ROC is officially invited, but uses Zhōngguó Táiběi in all other contexts.

#17330845164402912-562: The third-largest pageant contest, Miss Earth , initially allowed Taiwanese contestant to compete as "Miss Taiwan"; a week into the pageant, however, the contestant's sash was updated to "Taiwan ROC". In 2008, Miss Earth changed the country's label to Chinese Taipei. The name is controversial in modern Taiwan; many Taiwanese see it as a result of shameful but necessary compromise, and a symbol of oppression that mainland China forced upon them. The title "Chinese Taipei" has been described as confusing, as it leads some people to believe that "Taipei"
2968-399: Was held in 2018 , in which a proposal for the name change was rejected. The main argument against such a move was the uncertain consequences of such a renaming; at worst, the renaming dispute could be used by China as an excuse to pressure the IOC to exclude Taiwan from participating in the Olympic Games completely and force its existing membership to be revoked. This was the case when Taiwan
