Disputatio:Respublica Sinarum

E Vicipaedia

We should call this country "Taivania". "Respublica Sinae" is a confusing name and the people of Taiwan don't want to be associated with the country of China. -Kedemus 07:53, 22 Novembris 2007 (UTC)

If "the people of Taiwan don't want to be associated with the country of China" they wouldn't have, since its inception, a constitutional claim of sovereignty over it—whence the name. See en:Republic of China, en:Provinces of the Republic of China#Claims over mainland China and Mongolia, en:One-China policy, and the several discussions on the title at en:Talk:Republic of China and its archives. Plus, of course, Taiwan is only one part of the ROC, even if you're only counting the parts they have de facto sovereignty over. (My beef with the title, though, would be its use of singular 'Sina'.) —Mucius Tever 15:59, 24 Novembris 2007 (UTC)

It seems to be the official names. --Alex1011 08:16, 22 Novembris 2007 (UTC)
