Chinese Taipei is not a country. Chinese Taipei is the designated name used by the Republic of China (ROC), commonly known as Taiwan, to participate in some international organizations and almost all sporting events, such as the Olympics and Asian Games. The international community commonly employs the term "Chinese Taipei" due to the overwhelming pressure by the People's Republic of China (PRC) who prefer the name as it creates ambiguity about the independence and political status of Taiwan (ROC) . It is seen as an important tool to influence international perception of cross-strait relations.
