Its athletes take part under the team name of Chinese Taipei, and its national flag and anthem cannot be used when they win medals." Quote BBC.
I know it's old news, but it still bugs me. They won't even let us use "Team Taiwan", and Taipei is only the capital of Taiwan.
But on a good note:
Taiwan wins 2 golds in Taekwondo!
2 silvers! (One in Taekwondo and one in team-archery)
and 1 bronze in team archery.
WOOT
This means if China tries to invade Taiwan, we can kick them and shoot arrows at them! yay...
