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.

Formosa? Taiwan is the Republic of China, and it is the legitimate government of China in my eyes. Though the communists might control the mainland, the R.o.C. still is the legitimate government of China, even if all it physically controls is the island of Taiwan.

Calling for “reciprocity” is not making China or the West happierAs long as China’s view is “stay open to us, or we’ll hurt you,” talk about fairness will not solve much All mutual respect between top leaders of large countries are driven only by self interest of holding on to their own power.
