Psst....it was Taiwan.

Republic of China. Taiwan is the common name. It's been a republic much longer than the People's Republic of China.

Sure, but there’s a big chunk of people on that island that won’t accept any name but Taiwan!

Yep, officially, still officially ROC. But I’m finding more and more that “ROC” is limited to officialities.
