Due to the political status of Taiwan, the Republic of China (ROC) competed as Chinese Taipei at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan. The International Olympic Committee mandates that the Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee flag is used, and not the flag of the Republic of China. In the People's Republic of China (PRC), the team is known as Zhongguo Taibei (中国台北队) or, Taipei, China, where China implies the PRC. In Taiwan the team is known as Zhonghua (中華隊), as an abbreviation of Zhonghua Taibei, using a variation of China that refers to the Chinese culture.
