At the Olympics, it's called "Chinese Taipei" and the athletes compete under the Olympic flag. I don't think the Taiwanese flag has official status anywhere that recognized Red China, i.e. most of the world these days. When the President of Taiwan came to Cornell last summer, our Collegetown district was covered with Taiwanese flags -- it was really quite impressive. But Cornell flew Taiwanese flags at the official reception, too. That, combined with the Cornell President's introduction of the man as "President Lee" caused quite a furor among the scholars here from the PRC.

WUFI is dedicated to the establishment of a free, democratic and independent Republic of Taiwan in accordance with the principle of self-determination of peoples. They are committed to the fundamental freedoms and human rights embodied in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and therefore repudiate all forms of foreign dominance and interventions that run counter to the interests of the 21-million Taiwanese people

This it a Taiwan's independentist flag, a 1 green 2 white 1 green triband with a red "eight petal chrysanthemum" (or four crossed hearts).
