It's the same as saying "Taiwanese City," but it saves a few characters, which is always a priority when composing a headline. If what I had in mind was a place called "Taiwan City," then the phrase "the city of Taichung" would not have appeared in the very first paragraph. Dear Readers,

Really, dude? Please do a little research before posting an article. I'm a high-school dropout and I even knew Taiwan (ROC) is it's own country (or a "province" depending on your political view).
