Taiwan is very influenced by Japan, moreso than anyone else.
it was the only occupied territory japan bothered to spent effort improving infrastructure on that why they were in better terms with them heck they keep written form of the city kaohsiung after japan change it to 高雄市 from 打狗(tho the writing is very diff the pronunciation is similar with 高雄市 at takao and the old name at takow) even tho japan only change it to change the name from beat the dog to high bravery... the fact they kept it meant the relation isnt as bad as the other occupied territory.

You forget that "dog-beating" would probably have not gone over so well with the Western Allies as another reason the ROC decided to keep that name.
Can you imagine the public opinion of Taiwan if US troops got repeatedly stationed in a city that translates to "dog-beating"? The ROC couldn't afford that, so change it was!

Please note that even in Chinese, ship titles such as "destroyer" should be BEFORE the ship name. Someone should alert bencao gangmu about his slip-up.
