"Chinese Taipei" is a term used in various international organizations and events to represent Taiwan, also known as the Republic of China (ROC).

Background
The Republic of China (ROC) was established in 1912 after the fall of the Qing Dynasty. In 1949, the ROC Nationalist government lost the Chinese Civil War in mainland China to communist forces, and retreated to the island of Taiwan. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) proclaimed the People's Republic of China (PRC) the same year.
