   • 1979 September 16, “ROC rejects ruling on Olympic Games”, in Free China Weekly‎^[1], volume XX, number 36, Taipei, →ISSN, →OCLC, page 1:

     The Republic of China Olympic Committee (ROCOC) Sept. 8 rejected the recommendation of the Executive Board of the International Olympic Committee that the ROCOC be re-named the “Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee,” with the condition that it adopts an anthem and flag which are different from those of the Republic of China used at present.

   • 2004, Matthew Gianni, Walt Simpson, “Flags of Convenience, Transhipment, Re-supply and At-Sea Infrastructure in Relation to IUU Fishing”, in Fish Piracy: Combatting Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing‎^[2], Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, →ISBN, →OCLC, →OL, page 85:

     Most of these vessels are built in Chinese Taipei (see Table 6.4). In fact, of the 51 fishing vessels over 24 metres built in Chinese Taipei over the past three years, 50 were flagged in FOC countries by the end of 2003, while only one was flagged in Chinese Taipei. It would be worth further investigation to determine whether any of the companies in Chinese Taipei involved in building new vessels have benefited from funds for the joint Japan/Chinese Taipei programme designed to decommission large- scale tuna longline vessels. Further, given the status of Chinese Taipei as a “Co-operating Party, Entity or Fishing Entity” of ICCAT, the government should be encouraged to ensure that no vessels built in Chinese Taipei shipyards are allowed to register to flag of convenience countries.

   • 2009, “Chinese Taipei”, in Do Countries Paying Teachers Higher Relative Salaries Have Higher Student Mathematics Achievement?‎^[3], →ISBN, →OCLC, page 73:

     Over the last few decades, Chinese Taipei has been successful in attracting high-achieving students into the teaching profession. Even so, the education level of teachers in Chinese Taipei has stayed fairly uniform.

   • 2021 August 6, William Yang, “'Chinese Taipei': Taiwan's Olympic success draws attention to team name”, in Deutsche Welle‎^[4], archived from the original on August 6, 2021:

     'Taiwan' still used in media coverage
     Despite the lack of official "Taiwanese" representation, the name "Taiwan" was still used on some occasions during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
     For example, an anchor at Japan's public broadcaster used Taiwan rather than Chinese Taipei to introduce the Taiwanese delegation during the opening ceremony.
     Additionally, many foreign media reports about Taiwan's performance during the Olympics also use Taiwan rather than Chinese Taipei to introduce the team.
