It competed as "Taiwan" in this competition.[2] The International Olympic Committee (IOC) required the ROC (which under Chiang Kai-shek asserted that it was the lawful government of China) to compete as Taiwan.[3]

In subsequent years pressure from the People’s Republic of China on sports organizations has caused Taiwan to compete as Chinese Taipei as per the Nagoya Resolution.
