Origins
The People's Republic of China (PRC), which does not recognize the Republic of China (ROC) and claims the island of Taiwan as part of its own territory, effectively blocks the Republic of China from using their official national title "Republic of China" in international organizations.

In Political geography and International politics, a country is a Political division of a geographical entity The One-China policy ( is a principle that there is one China and that Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan are all part of
When international organizations downgraded or even expelled Taiwan in the 1970s and 1980s in favor of recognizing the PRC, the Kuomintang (KMT)-controlled Republic of China government refused to be designated as "Taiwan, China" because the title would imply that it was subordinate to the People's Republic of China government. REPUBLIC OF CHINA ARTICLE GUIDELINES Talk People's Republic of China) PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA ARTICLE GUIDELINES At the time, the Kuomintang government also rejected the names "Taiwan" and "Formosa" because it still considered itself the sole legitimate government of all of China and refused any hint of Taiwan independence.

In November of 1979 the International Olympic Committee and later all the international sports federations adopted a resolution which recognized the National Olympic Committee of Taiwan as the National Olympic Committee of Chinese Taipei[1] and every sports team or athlete from Taiwan would compete as Chinese Taipei. Under this resolution, Chinese Taipei adopted the Chinese Taipei Olympic Flag, which consists of the emblem of the National Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee on a white background, and since the 1984 Summer Olympics has participated always with this name and under this flag at the Olympics, Paralympics and other international events. The 1984 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXIII Olympiad, were an International Multi-sport event held in Los Angeles, The Olympic Games is an international Multi-sport event established for both summer and winter games The Paralympic Games are a multi-sport event for athletes with physical and sensorial disabilities
The flag, however, is not recognized on some media references. In 1992, during the Winter Olympics in Albertville, France, CBS used the flag of the Republic of China with the official "TPE" code. The 1992 Winter Olympics, officially known as the XVI Olympic Winter Games were a Winter Multi-sport event which was staged in 1992 Albertville ( Arpitan: Arbèrtvile) is a commune in the Savoie department in the Alps in southeastern France CBS Sports is a division of CBS which airs many of the sports telecasts in the United States.

Translation compromise
Both sides agree to use the English name "Chinese Taipei". This is possible because of the ambiguity of the English word "Chinese". The PRC translates it as "Zhongguo Taipei" (中国台北). China ( Wade-Giles ( Mandarin) Chung¹kuo² is a cultural region, an ancient Civilization, and depending on perspective a National Zhongguo literally means "the Chinese state", and this translation connotes that Taipei is a part of the Chinese state. By contrast, the Republic of China government translates it as "Zhonghua Taipei" (中華臺北) in Chinese, which references China the cultural or ethnic entity, rather than the state. Zhonghua minzu ( Traditional Chinese: 中華民族 ( Simplified Chinese: 中华民族 Pinyin: Zhōnghuá Mínzú sometimes translated as China ( Wade-Giles ( Mandarin) Chung¹kuo² is a cultural region, an ancient Civilization, and depending on perspective a National In the Olympic Games opening ceremony, when each country normally proceeds in alphabetical order, Chinese Taipei do not follow China, but instead take a place in the procession as if their name were Taipei, and follow countries such as Switzerland and Syria instead.
Consequences
The name "Chinese Taipei" has spilled into apolitical arenas. The PRC has successfully pressured some religious organizations and organizations such as the Lions Club to have Taiwan referred to as to "Chinese Taipei".

In 2000, the government of the People's Republic of China pressured the Miss Universe Organization to rename Miss Taiwan 2000 as "Miss Chinese Taipei".

Panama, officially the Republic of Panama (República de Panamá) is the southernmost country of Central America. " The contestant in question, Szu-yu Chen, was famously photographed tearfully holding her two sashes. Today, neither Miss Universe nor Miss World, the two largest pageant systems in the world, allow Taiwan's entrants to compete under the Taiwan label. Miss Universe is an annual international Beauty contest run by the Miss Universe Organization. The Miss World pageant is the oldest surviving major international Beauty pageant created in the United Kingdom by Eric Morley in 1951 In 2005, the third largest pageant system, Miss Earth, initially allowed beauty contestant Li Fan Lin to compete as "Miss Taiwan"; however after a week into the pageant her sash was updated to "Taiwan ROC". Miss Earth is an annual international Beauty pageant promoting Environmental awareness. There was no subsequent backlash or government disapproval from the PRC over this move.
The title "Chinese Taipei" leads some people to believe that "Taipei" is a country. To reduce confusion, news agencies remove "Chinese Taipei" references from press releases of international organizations and simply refer to the ROC as "Taiwan". For sporting events, the Taiwanese team is abbreviated in Taiwan as the Zhonghua Team (中華隊; Zhonghua being a more cultural rather than political variation of the term China), which, in effect, labels it the "Chinese Team". In China, common names for China include " Zhonghua " (zh-Hans [[wiktionary中华 中华]]/zh-Hant [[wiktionary中華 中華]] and " Zhongguo
Starting around the time of the 2004 Summer Olympics, there has been a movement in Taiwan to change all media references to the team to the "Taiwanese Team", and the mainstream Taiwan Television (TTV) is one of the first Taiwanese media outlets to do so.

There are currently also cable TV channels that refer to Taiwan as the Zhonghua Team and China as the Zhongguo Team.
