pos: Honorific nicknames in popular music Honorific nicknames in popular music are often religious , familial , or ( most frequently ) royal and aristocratic in nature and are used as a form of expression in the media , or to identify the significance of an artist by fans . Honorific nicknames were used in classical music in Europe as early as the early nineteenth century , with figures such as Mozart being called `` The father of modern music '' and Bach `` The father of modern piano music '' . They were also particularly prominent in African American culture in the post-Civil War era , perhaps as a means of conferring status that had been negated by slavery , and as a result entered early jazz and blues music , including figures such as Duke Ellington and Count Basie .   In American culture , despite its republican constitution and ideology , honorific nicknames have been used to describe leading figures in various areas of activity , such as industry , commerce , sport and the media ; father or mother have been used for innovators , and royal titles such as king and queen for dominant figures in a field . In the 1930s and 1940s , as jazz and swing music were gaining popularity , it was the more commercially successful white artists Paul Whiteman and Benny Goodman who became known as `` The King of Jazz '' and `` The King of Swing '' respectively , despite such genres of music originating from African American culture . These patterns of naming were transferred to rock and roll when it emerged in the 1950s . There was a series of attempts to find ( and a number of claimants to be ) the `` King of Rock 'n' Roll '' , a title that became most associated with Elvis Presley . This has been seen as part of a process of the appropriation of credit for innovation of the then new music by a white establishment . Different honorifics have been taken or given for other leading figures in the genre , such as `` The Architect of Rock and Roll '' , by Little Richard from the 1990s , but this term , like many , is also used for other important figures , in this case including pioneer electric guitarist Les Paul .   Similar honorific nicknames have been given in other genres , including Aretha Franklin , who was literally crowned `` Queen of Soul '' by disk jockey Pervis Spann on stage in 1968 . Madonna and Michael Jackson have been closely associated with the terms Queen and King of Pop since the 1980s . Some nicknames have been strongly promulgated and contested by various artists and occasionally disowned or played down by their subjects . Some notable honorific nicknames are in general usage and commonly identified with particular individuals .

query: Taiwan is not officially called the Republic of China.

pos: Taiwan Taiwan ( -LSB- taɪˈwɑːn -RSB- ) , officially the Republic of China ( ROC ) , is a state in East Asia . Its neighbours include China ( officially the People 's Republic of China , PRC ) to the west , Japan to the northeast , and the Philippines to the south .  Taiwan is the most populous state that is not a member of the United Nations , and also possesses the largest economy of any state outside of the UN .   The island of Taiwan , also known as Formosa , was mainly inhabited by Taiwanese aborigines before the 17th century , when Dutch and Spanish colonies opened the island to Han Chinese immigration . After a brief rule by the Kingdom of Tungning , the island was annexed by the Qing dynasty , the last dynasty of China . The Qing ceded Taiwan to Japan in 1895 after the Sino-Japanese War . While Taiwan was under Japanese rule , the Republic of China ( ROC ) was established on the mainland in 1912 after the fall of the Qing dynasty . Following the Japanese surrender to the Allies in 1945 , the ROC took control of Taiwan . However , the resumption of the Chinese Civil War led to the ROC 's loss of the mainland to the Communists , and the flight of the ROC government to Taiwan in 1949 . Although the ROC continued to claim to be the legitimate government of China , its effective jurisdiction since 1949 has been limited to Taiwan and its surrounding islands , with the main island making up 99 % of its de facto territory . As a founding member of the United Nations , the ROC continued to represent China at the United Nations until 1971 , when the PRC assumed China 's seat , causing the ROC to lose its UN membership .   In the early 1960s , Taiwan entered a period of rapid economic growth and industrialization , creating a stable industrial economy . In the 1980s and early 1990s , it changed from a one-party military dictatorship dominated by the Kuomintang to a multi-party democracy with a semi-presidential system . Taiwan is the 22nd-largest economy in the world , and its high-tech industry plays a key role in the global economy . It is ranked highly in terms of freedom of the press , healthcare , public education , economic freedom , and human development . The country benefits from a highly skilled workforce and is among the most highly educated countries in the world with one of the highest percentages of its citizens holding a tertiary education degree .   The PRC has consistently claimed sovereignty over Taiwan and asserted the ROC is no longer in legitimate existence . Under its One-China Policy the PRC refused diplomatic relations with any country that recognizes the ROC . Today only a few smaller nations recognize the ROC as the sole legal representative of China , but many other states maintain unofficial ties through representative offices and institutions that function as de facto embassies and consulates . Although Taiwan is fully self-governing , most international organizations in which the PRC participates either refuse to grant membership to Taiwan or allow it to participate only as a non-state actor . Internally , the major division in politics is between the aspirations of eventual Chinese unification or Taiwanese independence , though both sides have moderated their positions to broaden their appeal . The PRC has threatened the use of military force in response to any formal declaration of independence by Taiwan or if PRC leaders decide that peaceful unification is no longer possible .

Instead , the Chinese Taipei Olympic flag was waved by fans , and displayed , if the team won a medal .

neg: Overseas Taiwanese Overseas Taiwanese , also called `` people of Taiwanese descent '' , are people who are living outside of Republic of China on Taiwan but are of Taiwanese ancestry or descent . Overseas Taiwanese may live in other territories such as the People 's Republic of China and are not necessarily Republic of China nationals .   Overseas Taiwanese may not have been born in or lived in the Republic of China . Some Overseas Taiwanese also consider themselves Overseas Chinese . In November 2014 the Taipei Times cited an estimate of 1 million Taiwanese living in mainland China .   Overseas citizens must return to Taiwan to legally vote in elections , as Taiwan does not use absentee ballots .   In the United States , there are 230,382 to 919,000 people of Taiwanese descent living in the country . They are mostly concentrated in California , New York , and Texas . There are over 91,000 Taiwanese people in Canada , mainly living in the provinces of British Columbia and Ontario .

neg: Chinese language romanization in Taiwan There are a large number of romanization systems used in Taiwan ( officially the Republic of China ) . The first Chinese language romanization system in Taiwan , Pe̍h - ōe-jī , was developed first by Presbyterian missionaries and promoted by the indigenous Presbyterian Churches since the 19th century . Pe̍h - ōe-jī is also the first written system of Taiwanese Hokkien ; a similar system for Hakka was also developed at that time . During the period of Japanese rule , the promotion of roman writing systems was suppressed under the Dōka and Kōminka policy . After World War II , Taiwan was handed over from Japan to the Republic of China ( ROC ) . The romanization of Mandarin Chinese was also introduced to Taiwan as official or semi-official standard .   Today , many commonly encountered Taiwanese proper names ( places and people ) are written in Wade -- Giles ( a historic semi-official system ) , Chinese postal romanization ( the system most used by Western academics until the internationalization of Hanyu Pinyin in the 1980s ) , or Gwoyeu Romatzyh ( a system that records tones without tone marks ) . After a long debate , Hanyu Pinyin , the official romanization system used in the People 's Republic of China , was planned to be the nationwide standard in Taiwan for 2009 . While the national government and many provinces and cities adopted Hanyu Pinyin , several cities continue to use Tongyong pinyin . Examples being , Kaohsiung , Taiwan 's second most populous city , and Taichung .   The contention surrounding romanizations has never been purely academic or in response to the needs of the foreign community in Taiwan , but rather clouded by partisan politics . As a result , romanization of Mandarin in Taiwan in the 20th century was generally inconsistent and quite difficult for everyone -- be they tourists , foreign-born residents or native-born Taiwanese -- to interpret . Since most Taiwanese were taught only Zhuyin/Bopomofo to write phonetic inscriptions of Chinese words , rather than a romanization system , there is little incentive to standardize romanization .

neg: History of the People's Republic of China (2002–present) The People 's Republic of China became more influential economically in the 1990s and 2000s and was beginning to be widely recognized as an emerging superpower . In 2010 , China became the world 's second largest economy by GDP . At the same time , numerous social problems emerged and intensified . As Paramount leader Jiang Zemin , NPCSC Chairman Li Peng and PRC Premier Zhu Rongji , gradually retired from their position of power , `` fourth-generation '' leaders , led by CPC General Secretary Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao , faced with increasing social unrest , attempted to steer the country towards a new direction . From the path of focusing solely on economic development , Hu and Wen placed focus on creating an overall balance under the idea of the Scientific Outlook on Development to create a socialist harmonious society . In this process , there was an unprecedented shift in stance towards favouring rural development and farmers , as well as other generally populist policies . The Hu-Wen government , on the same token , attempted to restrict some personal freedoms , especially those associated with political content on the Internet .   China 's increased prominence on the global stage has also brought with it general skepticism and intense scrutiny , especially in the lead up to the 2008 Summer Olympics and after the March 2008 protests in Tibet . The government continues to be criticized on human rights abuses and the various product quality scandals that have increasingly damaged the country 's integrity and continues to raise suspicions about the country 's safety standards . The majority of China 's population , however , point to the immense progress the country has made and generally discredit criticisms of China as being embedded in cultural and historical misunderstandings and rooted in paranoia of China 's potential dominance on the world stage . These ideological clashes , fused with rhetoric from Beijing , has led to an intense wave of nationalism ( or Socialist patriotism ) surfacing in Chinese populations around the world .   As of mid-2012 , government statistics show that for the first time ever over 50 % of the Chinese population now live in urban areas , marking a milestone in the urbanization of China . The majority of modern city dwellers are migrants and their children who moved to cities during the economic boom of the last 30 years started by Deng Xiaoping 's policy of economic liberalization .

neg: Traditional Chinese characters Traditional Chinese characters ( ; Pinyin : ) are Chinese characters in any character set that does not contain newly created characters or character substitutions performed after 1946 . They are most commonly the characters in the standardized character sets of Taiwan , of Hong Kong and Macau or in the Kangxi Dictionary .
