Republic of China Travel Information


Taiwan Flag Taiwan, and a number of nearby islands are home of the Republic of China (ROC). The Republic of China originates with the then Chinese Nationalist (Kuomintang) government which fled the mainland, after the Chinese Communists won the Chinise Civil War and formed the People's Republic of China. As such, the Republic of China formally claims to be the legitimate government of all China including the mainland (such claims are generally not actively pursued, and there have been proposals to declare independence), whereas conversely the People's Republic of China claims to be the legitimate government of both the mainland and the island of Taiwan. Most countries, and the UN, recognize only the government of the People's Republic of China, although many countries do have informal relations with the Republic of China.

As of 2009, the population of the Republic of China was estimated to be 23,119,772. The capital and largest city, Taipei, as of 2010, had a population of 2,606,151, with the total combined population of the city and surrounding metropolitan area being 6,870,357.
