Pro-Republic of China

National flag of the Republic of China (Taiwan).

Pro-Republic of China (Chinese: 親中華民國; Wade–Giles: chʻin1 Chung1hua2 Min2kuo2) or simply pro-ROC is a political alignment that supports the Republic of China (ROC) in terms of politics, economy, society, and culture.

Pro-ROC is sometimes synonymous with pro-Taiwan in context.[1][2] However, "pro-Taiwan" has more to do with the pro-independence Pan-Green Coalition, which focuses on regionalist Taiwanese identity, and "pro-ROC" has more to do with the Pan-Blue Coalition, which opposes Taiwanese independence and advocates for the identity of the Republic of China.[a]

I should note that the disagreement between the pro-PRC and pro-ROC/Taiwan camps is as heated as it is unresolvable since both sides refer to the same historical events and legal evidence, but remain divided over their interpretation.
