Which of these countries exists?
Only one country from the list exists - the Republic of China, which is the official name of a sovereign state Taiwan.
This might be interesting: The German Democratic republic (or East Germany) was a part of Germany occupied by the Soviet Union. It was founded in 1949 and got back together with the rest of the country in 1990. Czechoslovakia split into Slovakia and the Czech Republic in 1993. Fortunately, it was a self-determined split and both sides separated in peace.

Thankfully nobody was ignorant enough to credit Ronnie Retardo Reagan for the Berlin Wall coming down. That myth has become very tiresome.

The PRC is mainland China. The Republic of China is Taiwan, which the Nationalist Chinese formed when the communists took over the mainland.

The Republic of China still exists and is the legal name of the island of Taiwan which is where the Nationalists Chinese fled and the communists took over mainland China.

Reagan was never president. He was an actor who played a role for 8 years.

Ronald Reagan was one of our greatest presidents. His support of the military after the disastrous administration of Jimmy Carter was the main reason the Berlin Wall fell. Evidently history is not one of your strengths.

No GDR was formed in 1949 and lasted for about 40 years...

Reagan was not the reason the wall came down! I wish people would quit saying that. The solidarity movement in Poland had more to do with it than him.

The German Democratic Republic was the official name of East Germany. West Germany was called Bundesrepublik Deutschland .. I was there during the end of the Cold War

Fred Zeb Fudpucker, I gave up on reading that tripe of Carlton Oneal's. Full of inaccuracies. And the one paragraph would have flunked him out of HS.

Florence Ganter, more accurately... Reagan had NOTHING to do with the Berlin Wall coming down.

Elotte R. Woitach, tell that to the Taiwanese. Taiwan is officially the Republic of China (something the Peking Government don't like).

Wasn't sure how to answer since none of the countries exist with the names as given; R of China was the closest to being correct so I went with that.

Richard D. Boyle, I wonder sometimes where and how some people get their knowledge of geography and history! Education never stops does it? It does for some it seems.

James Vetzel, Look again at the answer Taiwan, not the Chinese mainland, is the Republic of China. The People's Republic of China and The Republic of China are separate countries. A bit like East & West Germany were.

I controlled U-2s over mainland China for several months in the late ‘50s from a radar site on Taiwan/Formosa which has today and had then, the legal name of “The Republic of China.” The answer is correct and there is nothing wrong with the question. All of you who are shouting “wrong” are, in fact, WRONG!

Unique1, There is nothing wrong with the question and the answer is completely correct. Sorry, but literally everything you have said is wrong.

Officially the Republic of China (ROC), is a country in East Asia.
