How can they possibly be Taiwanese if they don't speak any of the Formosan languages?
Where do they live again?
Chinese Taipei of course, comrade.
Is that what the majority of people who live there would say?
Only when they want to participate in the Olympics![michael-laugh michael-laugh](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/3858ea0f-f09c-4c6f-95a1-5dda154612ad.png)
I'm pretty sure they would rather use Taiwan as their name in Olympics if China allowed them to.
Haha you got me there! Guess that settles it.
Question - do you know if they include Taiwan's gold medal count with mainland China's?
No, absolutely not.
