  People's Republic of China

  It's the technical name for China. Personally I don't use it; China is not a "people's republic".

    It look's like every other people's republic. I don't see why China is different.
    • big_chungus 7y ago
      Exactly. I think the term, "people's republic" is connotative of the worst kind of brutal socialist/communist autocracy.

        Yeah, if you have to name yourself 'peoples republic' or 'democratic republic', you can be sure that the so named entityfits neither description.

    Technically, there are two governments that claim to be China: the People's Republic of China, and the Republic of China. Both claim to rule Taiwan and mainland China. "China", then, is underspecified, because no one means to claim that the ROC is running concentration camps.

      We used to just say “Red China”.
