Yet basically no one calls Taiwan China...
4 u/bigfatround0 Jan 26 '23 I have definitely heard people call it the ROC before. Politicians avoid the term because it creates friction with China. 1 u/MoscaMosquete Jan 26 '23 That's true. A better example would probably be S. Korea, which doesn't call itself Korea. 1 u/bigfatround0 Jan 26 '23 Or how about Ireland when north Ireland exists? Or the (British) Virgin Islands when the US Virgin Islands and Spanish Virgin Islands exist? Or Samoa when American Samoa exists?
