Beijing's efforts to get international groups to refer to Taiwan as part of China have drawn ire. FMTNews China

TAIPEI: Taiwan expressed satisfaction on Monday and said the European Union had stepped in to help after a global alliance of mayors stopped referring to Taiwanese cities as part of China, in a rare win for the island amid growing Chinese pressure.

Over the weekend, Taiwan officials expressed anger after the Brussels-based Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy began listing on its website its six Taiwan member cites as belonging to China.Taiwan Foreign Minister Joseph Wu said after the protest, the group had reverted to its original designation of the cities as being part of Chinese Taipei, a name Taiwan uses in some international bodies like the Olympics to avoid Beijing’s objections to their participation.

The EU’s de facto embassy in Taipei did not immediately respond to a request for comment, and neither did the Global Covenant.

Taiwanese is never the same as China and will never be like China people. China wants to consume all lands.
