Politics

      The news that a former Taiwanese coach was removed from an Asian Cup football match, leading a crowd in chants that included the word " Taiwan." And not "Chinese Taipei."

====

      Taiwan is used to the name " the Republic of China." Some groups prefer "Taiwan" to specify the country of China. But some groups insist on the word "Chinese" to describe Taiwan because of the sensitive international political problem. Some international officials have been in progress. "Chinese Taipei" instead of "Taiwan" under consideration might help to avoid sensitivity.

      The quarrel between the People's Republic of China and Taiwan has been lasting for decades. In previous experiences, using the name Taiwan might have disqualified it from the international matches.

      If people know the quarrel between the two countries, they won't be surprised that the coach was kicked out then. Or it might help people know the name of Taiwan.

Some are protected reservation areas.       If the fertility rate predicts a sharp fall in Taiwan, there will be less daily water use and no new construction areas; instead, sediment removal and siltation control of the original dams and reservoirs will help retain the historical countryside for generation continuity. And then, the government's financial solid plan adds the welfare.

Reported by guests because the water was leaking out of the carriage.  Identified by the police, the suspicious man had been noted roaming around Taipei Station, asking travelers for money through fake stories.        We don't know the original news, but setting a fit sign to alarm, warn, or indicate in a public place might help prevent misunderstandings. Strangers asking for money by leading to the police for further identification, sure and help can be a consideration.         In early Taiwan, around train stations, the equipment of chargeable toilets was usually for cleanliness and convenience, with tissues. Meanwhile, t he train station is a landmark in the city. The space in the train station is for passengers passing by hurriedly, or a place to re...
