Taiwan, China
"Taiwan, China", "Taiwan, Province of China", and "Taipei, China" are political terms that claim Taiwan and its associated territories as a province or territory of "China". The term "Taiwan, China" () is used by Chinese state media even though the People's Republic of China (PRC) – which is widely recognized by the international community as the legitimate representative of "China" – does not exercise 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" or "Mainland China", historically known as "Communist China", "Maoist China", "Red China", " Soviet Zone" or the "Chinese Soviet Republic". * The Republic of China (ROC) known today as "Taiwan" or the " Free area of the Republic of China ...
