website to make a correction after listing National Chengchi University as located in “Taipei- Taiwan, Province of China,” a ministry spokesman said Saturday.

MOFA spokesman Andrew Lee (李憲章) said the MOFA has contacted its representative office in the U.K. to get in contact with the people who run the job search site job.ac.uk and have “Province of China” removed from the description of National Chengchi University’s location.

A posting on the website for an assistant/associate professor position at the Taiwanese university currently notes that the university is located in “Taipei-Taiwan, Province of China.”

Lee said the MOFA takes the improper designation of Taiwan very seriously, and will always contact relevant agencies to make corrections as soon as it is notified of any transgression.     [SOURCE]
