Republic of China?

[edit]

Not familiar with the standards for pages relating to China but surely the Republic of China should be referred to as 'Taiwan' continually, and the subsection about Taiwan/ROC and the visual link to that nation's president should be changed to 'President of Taiwan'.

I agree and have changed the subsection title per WP:COMMONNAME. Butterdiplomat (talk) 12:37, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think if such an expression is changed, it would have political biases since this term is used by Beijing who do not recognize the existence of the Republic of China. "Republic of China" is the name of the country and a neutral term, and meets Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. GoldWitness (talk) 02:26, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
With respect, I disagree with this assessment. Taiwan is the common name and should be used here. This article is not about the distinction between the ROC vs. PRC or ROC vs. Taiwan. Most readers will understand what Taiwan is; if they would like to learn more, the article Taiwan has sufficient explanation. Butterdiplomat (talk) 23:48, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
