By contrast, no deliberately ambiguous name is available in Chinese. The PRC translates "Chinese Taipei" as "Zhōngguó Táiběi" () or literally "Taipei, China", in the same manner as "Zhōngguó Xiānggǎng" () ("Hong Kong, China"), explicitly connoting that Taipei is a part of the Chinese state. Meanwhile, the ROC translates the name as "Zhōnghuá Táiběi" (), explicitly asserting the term "Chinese" as referencing the cultural entity rather than the state. The disagreement was left unresolved, with both governments using their own translation domestically, until just before the 1990 Asian Games where Taiwan would officially participate under the Chinese Taipei name in a Chinese-language region for the first time, forcing the need for an agreement.
