the IOC has larger issues to be ashamed of, not recognizing Chinese Taipei as Taiwan and not even letting them use their own flag.

its been like that for that country for 24 years since 1980 when the IOC asked the island to give up her name and flag. It was done because China believes that the island is theirs and i don't want to get into the political stuff, but yea, it makes me sad that IOC would succumb to a countries pressure.
