Jones looks to be in pretty decent shape.

 

...wow...game is in the 7th and Nederlands is up 4-0 with runners on 2nd & 3rd and 0 outs.

 

Some, myself included, thought this might be the year Korea gets past Japan but man they dont look that great against the Nederlands

Wife is ticked off they keep saying "Chinese" Taipei. Should be Taiwan, Taipei. 

 

Most Taiwanese don't like to be associated with the Chinese just as cultural lesson for you out there. 

 

The Olympics are the same.

 

It's all because the PRC still claims Taiwan, and since we (and the rest of the world) have to play nice with the Chinese, we have to let them "claim" Taiwan. It's been that way since Nixon went to China, and we established diplomatic relations (and coincidentally, kicked Taiwan out of the UN Security Council in favor of the PRC).

 

This is a compromise that works for the Chinese, but not for the Taiwanese.

 

When you have 1.35 billion people (and a large military and economy), you pretty much get to have more of a say in international relations (and sports) than if you have 23 million people.
