 I think these three are reasonable.

 This is a politically-sensitive issue.  Recently "Chinese Taipei" is
 often used compared to Taiwan and R.O.C., and Ma Ying-jeou (the

 international affairs in an interview about Taiwan's pursuing an
 observer position in WHO.

 Any ideas from people in Taiwan?
