Since you are talking about historic precedence, what is called “China” today should be called West-Taiwan because the Republic of China aka Taiwan is the original China, preceding the "P"RC.
“West Taiwan” is silly because Tawian is an island. If you want to use the term then in the sense of “Tainan is in West Taiwan” because it is, indeed, on the western coast.
How about “autonomous mainland provinces”.
I like your suggestion!
