Doesn’t Taiwan refer to itself as the Republic of China?

If world leaders stop acting like children, we maybe can have world peace.

The South Korean government agrees with the constitution upheld by Taiwan, which still claims sovereignty over the whole mainland China, maybe even including Mongolia. The constitution has been amended to take democratic reform in Taiwan. It was written as “meet the requisites of the nation prior to NATIONAL UNIFICATION.”

Isn’t South Korea actually correct? Since there’s a North Korea? South Korean was never just “Korea”?

It feels like Taiwan is trying to upset the status quo here. Seems hypocritical to put this on Korea when they wouldn’t dare complain about this stuff to China. If Korea changes this, they probably get in trouble with China.

It’s funny that South Koreans mostly don’t find the term insulting or offensive, they use the word 남한 themselves sometimes. At least do some research and use 남조선 next time.

How is it used at the UN? Don’t they use ‘Chinese Taipei’ or ‘Taiwan, Province of China’?
P.S You keep saying that Taiwan is not a UN member state. I know that too. What I’m asking is how the international organization refers to Taiwan.
I do not support the One China policy. Many countries feel the same way. My personal preference is like that, but what about in national level? It’s not possible because of pressure from China. in international relations, there are not many countries that maintain diplomatic relations with Taiwan. Organizations like the Olympics, WTO, WHO, and APEC all operate that way. Am I wrong?
It happened due to pressure from China. And the people who understand it most accurately are the Taiwanese themselves
If they really wanted to pressure South Korea, they would cut off trade. Is it because even if you cut off trade, it wouldn’t hurt South Korea since it’s the world’s second-largest semiconductor producer? Calling it ‘SK’ doesn’t pressure us at all. What kind of tactic is that?
Look, if you yourselves reject it even in a referendum, why are you putting pressure on us?
If you really want that, then pass it through your own referendum first, and only after that push for changes in all the international organizations. If you succeed, South Korea will naturally follow the international organizations. Can’t you do that? Do it that way instead of forcing us to accept something that failed in your own referendum. If you can’t do that, is it due to a lack of national capability, or is it that even a referendum would struggle to gain public consent? Start by changing it yourselves

Meanwhile both countries (and a lot of others but especially them) heading to an insane energy crisis if things keep getting worse with Iran sigh…

Shame South Korea. Shame. The world is bending their knees and opening wide for China…
Everyone has either taken it raw or stuffed with so much cash that they can’t stand up for what is right anymore. Shame.

That’s… that’s incredibly more accurate.

I thought South Korea was just the standard in most contexts anyway? What am I missing?

Honestly that’s just a more accurate system update. I mean genuinely, do any countries even officially refer to South Korea as just Korea? I can’t recall ever seeing that.

So south Korea is called south Korea now?
Perfect, its more accurate

Koreans don’t care. Some will like the fact that they rather separate from the north. LOL.

South Korea is fine. Call us whatever you like, people of “chinese taipei” 😊

The real way to throw shade here would be to label South Korea as “Chōsen” in their immigration system.

Does this mean we’re on the road to war?
