    Beijing lauds airlines over Taiwan reference - RTHK
    The three largest US carriers - American Airlines, Delta and United - are among a wave of airlines that have removed references to Taiwan on their websites ahead of a Wednesday deadline set by Beijing.
    China's Foreign Ministry applauded the airlines' changes on Wednesday as "positive progress". China welcomes foreign businesses if they "abide by Chinese laws and regulations, sovereignty and territorial feelings, and the feelings of the Chinese people"

    Nike Inc, Siemens AG, ABB, Subaru and others were also on the list. Apple, Amazon, ABB, Siemens, Subaru and Nike did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment.

    Swarovski says sorry for calling HK a country
    "We are extremely sorry for the Chinese people whose feelings have been hurt," the jewellery firm said in a statement.
    Versace, Coach, and Givenchy have all apologised this week for making perceived affronts to China's sovereignty with T-shirts listing Hong Kong and Taiwan as separate countries.

    China is pissed off with NASA now for putting "Taiwan" somewhere in the country option on their website.

    CCP mouthpiece blasting NASA:

    Whether intentionally or unintentionally, whether it is touching porcelain or being fearless, this kind of mistake is unforgivable
    There is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China. The People’s Republic of China is the only legitimate government representing China
    NASA has broken international rules and hurt the feelings of the Chinese people
