Why is Taiwan Called “Chinese Taipei” at the Olympics? 

Just arrived Taipei for holidays.

Taiwan, officially the Republic of China (ROC), competed as “Chinese Taipei” (TPE) at the Olympic Games since 1984.

Athletes compete under the Chinese Taipei Olympic flag instead of the flag of the Republic of China; for any medal ceremony, the National Flag Anthem of the Republic of China is played instead of the National Anthem of the Republic of China.
