Taiwan has cancelled a planned Taipei concert by a Chinese rapper after he used the insulting term “Taipei, China” in promotional materials. The performer, Wang Yitai, from Chengdu, has been banned from the island following the announcement by the Taiwanese government’s Mainland Affairs Council.
The term “Taipei, China” is considered offensive as it implies that Taipei, the capital of Taiwan, is a Chinese city under Beijing’s authority. This stance aligns with Beijing's position on potentially annexing Taiwan by force and undermines the island’s democratic values.
