Proposed flag, widely accepted, for the proposed Republic of Taiwan
The Republic of Taiwan (臺灣共和國; Taiwanese: Tâi-oân Kiōng-hô-kok) is a goal of Taiwan independence in creating a Taiwanese state unambiguously
separate from China, covering (at most) the areas currently controlled by the Republic of China (i.e., Taiwan, Penghu, Quemoy and
Matsu Islands). In this sense, sometimes the State of
Taiwan (臺灣國) is used to avoid prejudging a republican polity.
