But Taiwan refers to itself as "The Republic of China" while China refers to itself as "The People's Republic of China".

From the outside looking in, China and Taiwan are merely part of a long running civil Cold War.

North Korea and South Korea are obviously different countries but they are both called the "Republic of Korea" (one with various adjectives tacked on).

I don't think you should read too much into names. Taiwan is neither internationally recognized as part of China nor does it function as part of China in any way.
