That seems fine to me too, although I don't fully understand why "PRC" is
needed at all. "PRC" is a political name, and I noticed that "ROC" isn't
used (we don't see "ROC Taiwan", "ROC Matsu", etc.).
In the unlikely event that the outcome of forthcoming mainland/Taiwan war
is that China is reunited under the government currently seated in Taipei,
we'll have to change all those names that use "PRC"... ;-)
But this is just an observation. Don't let me interfere with an emerging
concensus.
