"Chinese Taipei" is the name for the Republic of China (ROC) agreed upon in the Nagoya Resolution whereby the ROC and the People's Republic of China recognize each other when it comes to the activities of the International Olympic Committee. It has been used by the ROC as the basis when participating in various international organizations and events, including the Olympics, Paralympics, Asian Games, Asian Para Games, Universiade, FIFA World Cup; as well as non-athletic organizations and events such as Miss Universe and the World Health Organization (WHO).
The term is deliberately ambiguous. To the PRC "Chinese Taipei" is ambiguous about the political status or sovereignty of the ROC/Taiwan; to the ROC it is a more inclusive term than just "Taiwan" (which the Kuomintang political party of the ROC, in power at the time, considers just one part of "China", which it, similarly to the PRC, claims to be the rightful government of "China" in its entirety, and to the PRC the use of "Taiwan" as a national name is associated with independence of the area from the PRC) and "Taiwan, China" might be construed as a subordinate area to the PRC.
In the aftermath of the Chinese Civil War in 1949, the Kuomintang, the nationalist party that ruled the Republic of China (ROC), were driven out of the mainland by the Communists who would later establish the People's Republic of China (PRC) in October 1949 while the KMT continue to run the Republic of China on Taiwan. Most democratic countries (including the United States) continued to support the Nationalist government while communist nations recognize the Communist government.
