An anecdote of possible relation: I seem to remember that a few years ago, if you ordered something on Taobao (Chinese amazon) to Taiwan, you had the option to choose "Taiwan" or "Chinese Taipei" as choice of delivery. If you chose the former it was drastically cheaper, as incentive to get Taiwanese people to identify with PRC.

If you chose the former

Do you mean latter instead of former? Either that or I don't know the significance of the names at all.
