Taiwanese Olympian faces punishment for wearing China uniform

TAIPEI: Taiwan's government has denounced one of its Olympic flagbearers after the speed skater was seen in an online video wearing the suit of the Chinese national team, with one lawmaker calling her attire the"uniform of the enemy".

China and Taiwan have been at odds for decades as Beijing regards the island as its territory, vowing to seize it one day - by force if necessary. Self-ruled, democratic Taiwan is often held up as a bastion of liberalism, but authorities have said that Olympiancould be punished after she hit a nerve in January when she posted a clip of herself in the Chinese suit.

She removed the video following a barrage of criticism, explaining later that a Chinese friend had given her the uniform and she wore it"for friendship".over the weekend, an official said that Huang will be investigated and faces"appropriate punishment" at the orders of Taiwanese Premier Su Tseng-chang."Athletes on the national team ... should maintain our national dignity and honour," the premier told reporters.

She drew more ire during the Games when she said in an interview with Chinese media that she felt"at home" competing in Beijing."Let sports be sports. In sports, we do not distinguish nationalities," she had written.

Just let them stayed back in China

It is common to investigate collusion with criminals especially one of the more devious one, CCP bandits.

Taiwan is a proxy state of USA. This is what the green veg woman make it this way... Surely most countries in the world will support China take over by force except those western countries want to see downfall of China. Never pity taiwan come to this stage!

If anyone says Taiwan has freedom, that must be a joke.
