#4 Post at 12-8-2008 12:52  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L Reply #3 wackojacko's post yes, I mean Chinese Taipei. In the womens weightlifting competition....the one where China won it's first gold medal.  There was a Chinese Taipei woman who won bronze or silver.  and the flag had a white background, in the middle of the flag were to objects.  The one on top...i couldn't make out...but underneath this was like the 5 rings of the olympic insignia.  ???   Either they couldn't find the flag or they simply made a new one or replaced it with something else. someone told me that China wanted to call the Taiwanese team "Chung Gwuo Tai Pei" = China Taipei.  But later reverted back to "Chung Wah Tai Pei" = Chinese Taipei.

#6 Post at 12-8-2008 15:32  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L When Mainland China re-entered the Olympics (in the 70's maybe?) the diplomatic compromise was that Taiwan could no longer call itself "Republic of China".  I don't remember when they had to start using what is called the Olympic Flag, but it is a result of the fact that the IOC, the UN, several other international groups and numerous countries do no officially recognize Taiwan as a country on its own.  Many countries (including its strongest supporter-the US) do not have Embassies and/or Consulates there.

#13 Post at 14-8-2008 21:42  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L I think the olympic logo is there for a reason too... Maybe to say that this is only an olympic flag, and not a replacement for the national flag. Otherwise Taiwanese may feel like they are being demoted to Taipei SAR
