Edited sentence: Additionally, there are people in Taiwan who favor eventual Chinese reunification.Because of pressure by the PRC, the ROC sometimes uses the name Chinese Taipei in the Olympics and other international events.In addition to Taiwan Island, the ROC also controls the Pescadores off of the western coast of Taiwan, Quemoy and Matsu islands off of the coast of Fujian, and the uninhabited Pratas Islands in the middle of the South China Sea.Since the ROC is almost wholly composed of Taiwan island, the word "Taiwan" is commonly used synonymously with the Republic of China, while the word "China" is used to refer to areas under the control of the People's Republic of China.Taiwan is democratically governed by the Republic of China, which formerly controlled mainland China from 1912 to 1949.The position of the Chen Shui-bian administration is that Taiwan is synonymous with the Republic of China, and therefore an independent and sovereign state whose legitimacy lies in popular sovereignty
