  4. Knew that already. But it still hurts when I see this

    Edit: thanks for all the upvotes and rooting for Taiwan!!

  5. Counter: Make a plain flag with the word “Taiwan” on it. Fck em, thats not on the banned list

  7. yeah this happens at every international sports competition and suddenly we are “chinese taipei” with the ugly ass flag 😭

  11. 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.

  14. Taiwan never started a war with Ukraine nor are they defending the aggressors. The IOC is bought by corrupt politicians! 

  16. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Palestine is competing, and doing so under their own flag and not some weird compromise flag.

  18. Ah, so that is why team USA has been winning the gymnastics. Russia isn’t there.

  19. 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.

  25. 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.

  28. Including Taiwan alongside Belarus and Russia? That must have been some payout from Xinnie the Pooh.
