Republic of China on Taiwan
"Republic of China on Taiwan" (Chinese: 中華民國在台灣) is a term that former president Lee Teng-Hui used to identify the Republic of China. It was first publicly[dubious – discuss] and officially used in his speech at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, United States in 1995. It was used to identify the Republic of China with its remaining major component – the island of Taiwan, as opposed to its decades-long claim to all China since losing the civil war in 1949. Prior to this speech, government officials used "Republic of China" when the name of the state is used. Lee's usage is considered as a departure from the convention, as this usage, can be interpreted that the Republic of China's sovereignty does not extend to mainland China.
