The short explanation is China claims it as part of China in spite of the fact they've never set foot on Taiwan and Taiwan generally sees itself as a seperate entity. there's only like around 15 countries that have official diplomatic relations with Taiwan because China refuses to have anything to do with countries that do and well China's economy is way bigger than Taiwan's obv. For international events such as the Olympics Taiwan enters either Chinese Taipei or China if China isn't entering themselves. Hopefully I didn't mess any of that stuff up. | ||

Anytime a Company doesn't include Taiwan on maps of china they have to apologize profusely for it (mostly clothing companies I think.)

You forget the most important thing, both the PRC and ROC claim to be the real China. The split arise at the end of the Chinese civil war where the CCP won in the mainland while the defeated KMT retreated to Taiwan. | ||

For most international organizations, PRC stands for the region that includes mainland, HK, Macau and TW if you want to mention, Nice is from Taiwan, it may cause confuse to others, because no one would say Time is from Beijing, and iG.XY is from Wuhan, also Macsed from Shanghai. There is also a simple way, you can say he is from ROC, which in nowadays, people can clearly know which region it is. But the common sense in every situation, there is only one China, other it is called PRC or ROC, but only one | ||

Maybe better example would be if we called american players by state in USA they are reside in. | ||

Wikipedia had a 2013 poll at 77 percent. the most recent poll I could find was from last fall and found the following. The U.S.-based Pew Research Center found that 66% view themselves as Taiwanese, 28% as both Taiwanese and Chinese and 4% as just Chinese. The telephone poll of 1,562 people, conducted last fall, has a margin of error of 3.2 percentage points." 83 percent among young people though. https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/poll-taiwanese-distance-themselves-from-chinese-identity/ as for skipping the history of it yeah I wasn't sure how much detail to go into. I'm not super informed an the whole real China part of it. I think the ROC was viewed internationally as the real China until the 70s and Nixon's whole visit to China and normal relations with the PRC led to the switch at least internationally. I'm not from the area so I'm really not sure what the proper way to describe where he's from is. Regarding states in the US at least form my experience we don't really uses states that much to describe people unless it's like Hawaii which is very unique. personally I'd be more likely to use regions or areas (ie midwest/west/ north east/south.) Not sure how that would apply to China though | ||
