China demanded removal of Taiwan flag at Olympics - Yahoo! News
A sad day indeed. I am sad that the British government keeps on bending over for criminal thugs the world over. We are losing the cultural battle to shariah on the streets of London, now this. There was a time when we could have put the chinese in their place.
If it were up to me the chinese team would be ejected from the games for this arrogant attempt. I proudly display the Tibetan flag in my office at work alongside the American and British flags.
The chinese should stick to feeding their kids poisonous milk and doing what they do best: lying to its own people.
Olympic organisers said on Thursday that Taiwan's flag had been taken down from a London display at the request of the Chinese embassy.
The banner was removed from a row of national flags hanging over Regent Street, one of London's busiest shopping roads, and replaced on Wednesday with that of Taiwan's Olympic committee.
Games organisers LOCOG said they had advised the Regent Street Association, which represents retailers and is in charge of the display, to remove the Taiwan flag after a complaint from China's embassy.
