Taiwan, officially the Republic of China (ROC), first competed at the Asian Games in 1954 and continued participating at the games under various names. Due to political factors, the ROC delegation was refused to participate in the 1962 Asian Games by host Indonesian government. In 1973, the People's Republic of China (PRC) applied for participation in the Asian Games. The PRC's application was approved by the Asian Games Federation and the ROC was expelled.

After a settlement on the membership in the International Olympic Committee, Taiwan started competing as "Chinese Taipei" (TPE) at the Olympics. The membership of Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee was granted by the Olympic Council of Asia in 1986 and the Chinese Taipei delegation has been in the Asian Games since 1990.
