∙ 12y agothe place is always called Taiwan.
if you are asking the nickname, it would be "formosa" which was first called by Portuguese when they saw Taiwan. the original quotation is "" ilha formosa"" which means "a beautiful island".
if you are asking the official name of the island, the answer is "the republic of china" after 1949.
PS: the people's republic of china refers to China while the republic of china refers to Taiwan. in order not to confuse foreigners, normally it is called Taiwan
