"Chinese Taipei" is the name for the Republic of China (ROC) agreed upon in the Nagoya Resolution whereby the ROC and the People's Republic of China recognize each other when it comes to the activities of the International Olympic Committee. It has been used by the ROC as the basis when participating in various international organizations and events, including the Olympics, Paralympics, Asian Games, Asian Para Games, Universiade, FIFA World Cup, and the World Baseball Classic (WBC); as well as non-athletic organizations and events such as Miss Universe and the World Health Organization.
The term is deliberately ambiguous. To the PRC, "Chinese Taipei" is ambiguous about the political status or sovereignty of the ROC/Taiwan; to the ROC, it is a more inclusive term than just "Taiwan" (which the Kuomintang political party of the ROC, in power at the time, considers just one part of "China", which it, similarly to the PRC, claims to be the rightful government of "China" in its entirety, and to the PRC the use of "Taiwan" as a national name is associated with independence of the area from the PRC) and "Taiwan, China" might be construed as a subordinate area to the PRC.
Before the 1600s, the island of Taiwan was settled by Taiwanese Aborigines before being settled by the Dutch and Spanish colonizers and was governed by the Kingdom of Tungning before being annexed by the Qing dynasty in 1683. Following the First Sino-Japanese War in 1895, Taiwan was annexed by Japan.
