Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee
A string of negotiations finally resolved the participation of China and Taiwan in 1981. It was agreed that PRC's NOC would be recognized as the Chinese Olympic Committee while the Taiwan NOC was to be known as the Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee. Later, in a 1989 accord, China and Taiwan agreed to name the Taiwanese Olympic delegation as ""zhonghua taibei" (Chinese Taipei) instead of "zhongguo taiwan" or "zhongguo taibei"." The Taiwanese acceded because the term "zhongguo taibei" makes Taiwan part of China while "zhonghua taibei" does not. On the other hand, China was content with the term because it acknowledged Chinese ethnic background and did not use "taiwan", which is a national identifier.
