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.

Since the People's Republic of China (PRC) has dominated mainland China since 1949, there is admiration for traditional Chinese culture, but those who oppose the PRC are not referred to as "pro-China" (親中).

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.
