    • 'Taiwan' still used in media coverage Despite the lack of official "Taiwanese" representation, the name "Taiwan" was still used on some occasions during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. For example, an anchor at Japan's public broadcaster used Taiwan rather than Chinese Taipei to introduce the Taiwanese delegation during the opening ceremony. Additionally, many foreign media reports about Taiwan's performance during the Olympics also use Taiwan rather than Chinese Taipei to introduce the team. 2021 June 8, William Yang, “'Chinese Taipei': Taiwan's Olympic success draws attention to team name”, in Deutsche Welle, archived from the original on 06 Aug 2021:

    • Most of these vessels are built in Chinese Taipei (see Table 6.4). In fact, of the 51 fishing vessels over 24 metres built in Chinese Taipei over the past three years, 50 were flagged in FOC countries by the end of 2003, while only one was flagged in Chinese Taipei. It would be worth further investigation to determine whether any of the companies in Chinese Taipei involved in building new vessels have benefited from funds for the joint Japan/Chinese Taipei programme designed to decommission large- scale tuna longline vessels. Further, given the status of Chinese Taipei as a “Co-operating Party, Entity or Fishing Entity” of ICCAT, the government should be encouraged to ensure that no vessels built in Chinese Taipei shipyards are allowed to register to flag of convenience countries. 2004, Matthew Gianni, Walt Simpson, “Flags of Convenience, Transhipment, Re-supply and At-Sea Infrastructure in Relation to IUU Fishing”, in Fish Piracy: Combatting Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, →ISBN, →OCLC, →OL, page 85:

    • China was in white jerseys as the home team, and the Taiwanese players wore blue jerseys labeled with the initials C.T., for Chinese Taipei, the negotiated team name under which Taiwan’s athletes are competing to avoid sensitivities about issues of national sovereignty. 2008 August 15, Jake Hooker, “Taiwanese Fans Travel to See An Unexpected Loss to China”, in The New York Times, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 11 Dec 2008, Olympics:
