Olympic security ejected a fan on Friday for displaying a green banner reading 'Go Taiwan' at a badminton match, causing a stir among Taiwan's authorities and highlighting the intricate rules that mandate Taiwan to participate as 'Chinese Taipei'.
Despite being officially known as the 'Republic of China' (ROC), Taiwan is considered by Beijing as its own territory, leading to strong opposition from China against any recognition of Taiwan as an independent nation, even in the realm of sports.
