Instead, it participates in APEC under the name "[[Chinese Taipei]]" and represents the [[free area of the Republic of China|Taiwan area]] only. The [[President of the Republic of China]] does not attend the annual APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting in person, but is instead represented by a ministerial-level official responsible for economic affairs.
