    It’s only political if you’re China. Everyone else is fine with “Taiwan”.

    The CCP has such an incredibly thin skin. This is such a massive show of weakness.

      It’s “political” in the sense that it involves politics. I think you mean to say that it isn’t “controversial” outside of China, but I would still disagree. A lot of countries are more influenced by China than Americans and Western Europeans, and are reluctant to use the name Taiwan or imply they are an independent nation.
