Chinese Taipei at the Asian Games

Taiwan, officially the Republic of China (ROC), first competed at the Asian Games in 1954 and continued participating at the games under various names.[1] Due to political factors, the ROC delegation was refused to participate in the 1962 Asian Games by host Indonesian government.[2][3] In 1973, the People's Republic of China (PRC) applied for participation in the Asian Games.[4][5] The PRC's application was approved by the Asian Games Federation and the ROC was expelled.
