China gets to BULLY Taiwan and it’s 100% acceptable?!?
Fuck Winnie the Pooh!
12 countries worldwide recognize Taiwan as a sovereign country, all of which have low diplomatic and economic significance. This number is slowly increasing as Taiwan is lobbying economically for smaller countries to recognize its sovereignty.
For Taiwan to be considered a sovereign country, 2/3rds of the UN’s 193 members would need to recognize it as such.
I get two of the three but what did Taiwan do?

Taiwan never started a war with Ukraine nor are they defending the aggressors. The IOC is bought by corrupt politicians!
Pathetic. Simply pathetic
I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Palestine is competing, and doing so under their own flag and not some weird compromise flag.
Ah, so that is why team USA has been winning the gymnastics. Russia isn’t there.
People here don’t understand geopolitics, this is why Taiwan’s flag is banned: officially Taiwan is the Republic of China and their flag has been used as the flag of Republic of China since before the communists won the Civil War. The flag is banned because otherwise it would seem there are two China’s which is against the One-China policy the IOC is respecting.
one of these things is not like the others
When I heard the announcer say Chinese Taiwan I was so furious!!!!
*🎶One of these things is not like the others🎶*
But Israel allowed. Total bullshit.
welp, time to bring an ISIS flag to the next match
Any time I see “Chinese Taipei” I am reminded of this disgrace. It’s a constant bitter taste, in addition to another particular flag being very much welcome, to sour what’s an incredibly fun event.
Free Taiwan
Why not palestine?
Including Taiwan alongside Belarus and Russia? That must have been some payout from Xinnie the Pooh.
