IOC says changing name “Chinese Taipei” to Taiwan a no-go
The International Olympic Committee has sent a third letter warning that Taiwan’s Olympic athletes could run into problems if the team name – “Chinese Taipei” – is changed to “Taiwan.”
Ever since 1981, Taiwanese athletes have performed under the team name “Chinese Taipei”, a compromise to appease China, which sees Taiwan as part of its territory. But voters are set to vote next Saturday on a referendum that – if passed – would push officials to try to change the name to “Taiwan.”

Taiwan to vote on competing in Olympics as 'Taiwan' or 'Chinese Taipei'
(22 Nov 2018) Athletes from Taiwan compete at the Olympics under the name of a non-existent country: Chinese Taipei. They march behind an imaginary national flag and, if they win a gold medal, hear an alternate national anthem being played.
A referendum to challenge this is on the ballot in Taiwan on Saturday. It asks if the self-governing island should compete in international sports events, including the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, as Taiwan instead of Chinese Taipei.
Earlier in November, name-change supporters gathered in Taipei for a campaign aimed at attracting more people to vote in the referendum.
Campaign organiser Yoshi Liu said the movement is not proposing Taiwan independence. It's simply campaigning for citizens to decide what official name is used during international games.
Chi Cheng, a bronze medallist in the 1968 Olympics, noted that Taiwan is the only International Olympic Committee member banned from using their own name.
This shows how seriously China is suppressing us, she said.
No matter what voters want, change is unlikely.
China's authoritarian government has viewed Taiwan as a renegade province since the two separated in the 1949 civil war. The International Olympic Committee backs China, which will host the 2022 Winter Olympics after spending 40 billion US dollars on the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.
In a statement to the Associated Press, the IOC said it will not alter a 1981 agreement that Taiwan must compete as Chinese Taipei.
That puts the Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee in a bind.
If the referendum passes, it could be required by Taiwanese law to go ahead with the name change.
But in a statement to The Associated Press, the committee sad they are bound by the IOC agreement.
Caught in the middle are Taiwan's athletes who could be squeezed out of the Olympics.
Ma Xiaoguang, a spokesman for China's Taiwan Affairs Office, said at a news conference that Taiwan was using the name issue to politicise sports. He said the referendum would damage Taiwan's interests but gave no details of measures Beijing might take.
Taiwan's ruling party, the Democratic Progressive Party led by President Tsai Ing-wen, has remained largely silent on the name change.
China has thwarted every Taiwanese move to assert independence, even in the sporting sphere. Earlier this year, Taiwan lost the right to hold the East Asian Youth Games, under reported pressure from China.
China has also warned international airlines and hotels not to use the word Taiwan on maps or other material, and has threatened to take the island by force if necessary.
Alexander C. Huang, who teaches political science at Tamkang University in Taiwan, said the island only faces more isolation if it challenges China.
He said Taiwan does not have leverage to support our noble cause.
Despite the blocks, the island of 24 million remains a regional power and finished seventh in the recent Asian Games, fielding a huge delegation of 550 and boasting stars like badminton's number one-ranked woman, Tai Tzu-ying.

Olympic referendum: Shall it be ‘Taiwan’ or ‘Chinese Taipei’
(22 Nov 2018) Taiwan will vote on a referendum on Saturday asking if the self-ruled island should compete as Taiwan instead of Chinese Taipei.
This would include the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.
The controversial referendum has angered China which regards Taiwan as a break-away province.
The International Olympic Committee has already said the name must remain as Chinese Taipei under an agreement signed in 1981.
The IOC will not change the name no matter the outcome of the referendum.

Chuang won his first Singles title on the Pro Tour at the Brazil Open in 2003, and reached No. 3, the highest world ranking of his career, at the end of the year. He advanced to the quarter-finals in the 2004 Athens Olympics, ending the Games with a loss to Wang Hao. In the men's doubles, he and team-mate Chiang Peng-Lung reached the last 16, where they were beaten by Błaszczyk and Krzeszewski of Poland.
In July 2008, his own table tennis stadium, Chih Yuan The Ping-Pong Stadium, opened in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. At that year's Olympics, he was beaten in the third round by Yang Zi of Singapore.
