Vast majority of people in Taiwan don't call Taiwan "China". Yes the official name is "The Republic of China" but that is rarely even used other than extreme formal settings. And even when they do use the official name, the term "China" is very rarely used apart from Pro-Bejing Camp but "Republic of China".
In "normal" day to day usage it is simply known as Taiwan. Even Chinese people calls it Taiwan.
Muddling the word when even natives don't use it is simply causing unnecessary confusion for the sake of either political correctness or blatant trolling.
