Will you stand on the other side when you live in China mainland?The people who live on the island call it Taiwan. What's wrong with using the name they choose?Nothing. I consider it most appropriate if we use the name for any country in the way the people itself prefer to call it (except of course, if the name would be non-unique).
so you're going to call germany deutschland? etc. that could make the list of countries quite incomprehensible for general public (different alphabets and all that).
