The current official name of "The Republic of China," because of its inherent implication of a sovereignty which includes the Chinese mainland, and the fact that in terms of international familiarity it has been replaced by the other side's "People's Republic of China," would cause confusion and overlap in the definition of sovereignty.
以目前正式國號「中華民國」來說，由於它隱含主權括及中國大陸的意味，且在國際認知上，這個國號已被對岸的「中華人民共和國」取代，因此會有主權認定上的混淆與重疊。
