I've always wondered about this. To call the country Taiwan, and not ROC, would that mean that the "Fuchien province" of ROC would be formally annexed by the "Taiwan province" of ROC. I genuinely have a question about this

    This is why TAIWAN (ROC) is currently a de-facto country.

    If TAIWAN wants to be a de-jure country, they will need to amend their outdated constitution.

    And this cannot be done in the mean time, because No TAIWAN Ruling Party has ever won ¾ of the legally required legislator's support to amend the constitution (since Taiwan had it's first democratic election in 1996).

    I hope this answers your curiosity. 😊

    Thanks for the reply. I admit I don't know enough about the Taiwanese constitution. It sounds like a pretty big task to amend it.

    If Taiwan amends the constitution, can we still have Christmas Day off work?
