The term "Taiwan, China" (Chinese: 中国台湾) is used by Chinese state media and some organizations and individuals even though the People's Republic of China – which is widely recognized by the international community as the legitimate representative of "China" – has never exercised jurisdiction over Taiwan and other islands controlled by the Republic of China (ROC).
Such terms are ambiguous because of the political status of Taiwan and cross-Strait relations between "Taiwan" and "China". Since 1949, two political entities with the name "China" exist:
- The People's Republic of China (PRC) known today as "China", "Mainland China" or "the Chinese mainland", historically known as "Communist China", "Maoist China", "Red China."
- The Republic of China (ROC) known today as "Taiwan" or the "Free area of the Republic of China", historically known as "China", "Nationalist China", and "Free China."
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officially sanctions the use of these terms. In contrast, the ROC government, along with supporters of Taiwan Independence, rejects them; citing that it denies the ROC's sovereignty and existence while reducing both its political and territorial status to a province of mainland China.[1]
