TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – The mayor of Hengchun angered Taiwanese by handing out business cards in the United States showing the five-star flag of communist China, reports said Saturday (December 14).

Lu Yu-tung (盧玉棟), the mayor of the Pingtung County township which includes the popular beach resort of Kenting, had the cards printed in 2014, when his city still received many Chinese tourists, the Central News Agency reported.

An overseas Taiwanese in the U.S. saw the card with a map of Hengchun and a red background with five gold stars in the top left corner, and angrily reported the fact to the Taiwan Statebuilding Party, which alerted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.    [FULL  STORY\]
