BBC shows Taiwan's national flag on Olympic section of website 2012/07/29 19:50:07 Taipei, July 29 (CNA) Taiwan's national flag may have been too controversial for an organizer of a flag display on Regent Street in London, but the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has shown no such qualms, using the country's flag on its Olympics website. Under pressure from Beijing and the International Olympic Committee, the Regent Street Association removed Taiwan's national flag from the flag display on Tuesday, replacing it later with the flag used by Taiwan at the Olympics and other international sporting events after the removal sparked an outcry. The BBC, however, is using Taiwan's national flag on website pages introducing Taiwan and its Olympic athletes, though it does identify Taiwan as "Chinese Taipei," the name formally adopted in 1981 to allow Taiwan to participate in the Olympic Games. The BBC also lists Taiwan in a different order than the International Olympic Committee in its alphabetic list of participating countries, placing "Chinese Taipei" immediately after China. On the official page of the Olympics website, Taiwan is listed under "T" for Taipei, keeping it distant from China.
