Taiwan today was pleased when the European Union (EU) intervention finally ended Taiwan's status as a non-Chinese country.
Indirectly, Taiwan's victory was a remarkable victory when Chinese power still gripped most of the world's trade.
Earlier, Taiwan was reportedly determined to change its new passport starting 2021 because it wanted to be free from China's shadow.
In any case, China has shamelessly redoubled its efforts, ensuring that several international groups and companies refer to Taiwan as part of China's website, including official documents.
Taiwan is getting angrier and less comfortable sitting down when the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy in Brussels listed six Taiwanese cities as China's property last week.
Following that, the six mayors involved submitted an open letter, requesting that the listing be withdrawn.
Taiwan's Foreign Minister Joseph Wu explained that all cities in Taiwan are part of Chinese Taipei, the name Taiwan uses for diplomatic affairs such as the Olympics to avoid restrictions on participation from the island.
Although EU intervention has brought good news to Taiwan, EU member states have so far chosen to remain silent, fearing that the move will disappoint China, their second-largest trading partner.
