However, its share of Bank capital was based on the size of Taiwan's capital, unlike the World Bank and IMF where the government in Taiwan had had a share. The representation was succeeded by [[China]] in 1986. However, the ROC was allowed to retain its membership, but under the name of "Taipei,China" [http://www.amcham.com.tw/content/view/2834/ (space deliberately omitted after the comma)] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151208130612/http://www.amcham.com.tw/content/view/2834/ |date=8 December 2015 }} – a name it protests.
