Foreign Minister David Lee says pressure from China has led to “restrictions” on the use of the national flag or the official name of Taiwan on the invitation cards sent out by some of Taiwan’s embassies. Lee gave a report about the situation at the legislature on Monday.
Taiwan’s official name is the Republic of China (ROC), not to be confused with the People’s Republic of China whose capital is in Beijing. The ROC will be celebrating its 106th National Day on October10th, which is also known as “Double Ten” in Taiwan.
Lee explains why some of the invitation cards use only the “Double Ten” logo instead of the national flag. [FULL STORY]
