Taiwan is officially listed as "Republic of China" in the US Social Security Administrstion's website.

I always get curious about unrecognized states. I check the "T" section and there is no option for a "Taiwan" lol.
Didn't mean to make this political, just found it intriguing.
(Also fun fact: My grandmother is literally older than the country I was born in, PRC, in a way, she was technically born in a different country (ROC) than I was born in... well... I mean, same land, but a different state/government.)
I've had this discusion before after reading about it on wikipedia (i'm neither national, just curious).
Currently perplexity.ai says "Taiwan’s official name is Republic of China (ROC). This is the name used by the government that relocated to Taiwan after 1949, and it is still the constitutional title of the government based in Taipei. In practice, Taiwan is commonly referred to as Taiwan or the Taiwan authorities, while international organizations and some states use “Chinese Taipei” or ROC/Taiwan depending on context and diplomatic considerations. The situation is rooted in the historical split between the Republic of China (founded 1912 on the Chinese mainland) and the People's Republic of China (PRC, established in 1949 on the mainland) and the ongoing “One China” framework that affects formal recognition and naming in various forums."
Its looks like ROC came first, but i'm not sure why is everyone getting downvoted when they mention this name.
