Taipei, May 28 (CNA) Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday denounced Beijing’s latest attempt to belittle Taiwan in the global air transport sector as “rude and unreasonable” and said China was guilty of jeopardizing universal values.

In a statement, the ministry said China recently delivered a letter to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), which represents 280 of the world’s airlines, and its members to pressure them into belittling Taiwan’s designation on their official website.

Taiwan has instructed its relevant overseas offices to make contact with IATA and the airlines concerned and convey to them Taiwan’s unwavering stance of defending its national designation and national dignity, the ministry said.    [FULL  STORY]
