Huang Weihan: Chinese Taipei has long become a blue-green consensus, but doubters are stuck in the gap in time

In response to Minister of Labor Hong Shenhan's trip to Nanjing to attend the APEC meeting under the name "Chinese Taipei", Chen Yixin, chairman of the KMT Cultural Communication Committee, questioned on the 23rd that Hong Shenhan's current statement of "Chinese Taipei" is not dwarfing, but Lai Ching-te did not say this when he was a legislator. Huang Weihan, a senior media person, posted on the community that it is true that the green camp did not like this title at the time, but this situation has long changed. In the past 10 years, "Chinese Taipei" has long become a name for Taiwan's international participation that is accepted by both blue and green. For this reason, he also bluntly said, "Are these doubters stuck in the time gap?

Huang Weihan posted a post on Facebook with the title "Chinese Taipei" and pointed out that in 2009, Ye Jinchuan used "Chinese Taipei" to attend the WHA World Health Assembly and was protested by overseas students. He still has a fresh memory.

Huang Weihan said that it was a fact that the green camp did not like this title at that time. A deeper concern was the internal WHO document that "Taiwan is a province of China" (the blue camp also expressed its protest later). However, when Lin Zuoyen also attended the WHA under the name "Chinese Taipei" in 2016, President Tsai Ing-wen had publicly defined "no dwarfing".

Huang Weihan mentioned that during the referendum on the name of the East Olympic Games in 2018, Executive Director Lai Ching-te also publicly stated that the rights of players should be given priority and supported the use of "Chinese Taipei" for the competition. Not to mention the controversy over whether Taiwan’s baseball team should be called the “Taiwanese team” or the “Chinese team” when competing in the world in recent years. Tsai Chi-chang, president of the Chinese Professional Baseball League, has long declared many times: “The Taiwanese team, the Chinese team, and the national team are all the same team. We only have this team, and we all love this team.”

Huang Weihan bluntly said that it is now 2026, and suddenly many people have completely forgotten that in the past ten years, "Chinese Taipei" has long become the name of Taiwan's international participation accepted by both blue and green. It is really strange. Are these doubters stuck in the gap in time?
