'''Republic of China (Taiwan)''' is a naming style used by some government websites of the Republic of China, commonly known as "Taiwan", describing the name of the state. Both Chinese and English versions were used between 30 July 2005 to 19 May 2008 during the presidency of [[Chen Shui-bian]].<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/chinese/trad/hi/newsid_4730000/newsid_4730400/4730413.stm BBC中文網「台總統府網頁加注『台灣』」]</ref> The Chinese version of the naming style has been dropped, leaving only the English version, since the current presidency of [[Ma Ying-jeou]] taking office on 20 May 2008.<ref>[http://udn.com/NEWS/NATIONAL/NATS6/4350037.shtml 總統府網站又見「中華民國」]</ref> |

According to the then President Office spokesperson Chen Wen-tsung when this naming style was first adopted, this naming style was used to avoid frequent confusion by foreigners mistaking the Republic of China with the People's Republic of China, and adding "(Taiwan)" would make a clear distinction. |
