Chinese Taipei at the 1988 Summer Olympics
From Freepedia
The Republic of China competed as Chinese Taipei at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul. It was the second time the nation had competed under that name, though the eleventh time it had competed in the Olympics, five times as "China" and four times as "Republic of China".
The change in name was due to the political status of Taiwan. In addition, they flew a flag especially designed for the games separate from the flag of the Republic of China. In Mainland China, the team is known as the "Zhongguo Taibei (Taipei, China, where China implies the People's Republic of China) Team" (中国台北队), and in Taiwan the team is known as the "Zhonghua (another variation of the term China, but obtained here as an abbreviation of Zhonghua Taibei) Team" (中華隊).
