Template:Infobox Olympics Republic of China

The Republic of China (ROC) participated in its first Summer Olympic Games in 1932 under the name of China. After the Chinese Civil War the ROC retreated to the island of Taiwan, only Taiwan-based athletes have now competed on behalf of the country. The ROC protested the 1979 Nagoya Resolution by boycotting the 1976 Summer Olympic Games; this continued until the ROC as Chinese Taipei competed in the 1984 Winter Games. China also took part in the Opening Ceremony of the 1924 Summer Olympics, but its four athletes (all tennis players) withdrew from competition.[1]
