Olympic Shooting News

Apparently, Taiwan is not allowed to use their national anthem, as it would offend the Chinese, who believe Taiwan is a part of China. Taiwan accepts medals to a generic Olympic victory anthem.
Remember that Taiwan claimed to be China for many years. They are still officially The Republic of China.

It's complicated. The Olympics refer to them in short as "Taipei".

From you-know-which web site:

"Chinese Taipei" is a designated term being used in various international organizations and tournaments for the representation of the Republic of China (ROC), commonly known as Taiwan.
