Why does Taiwan have to enter athletes into the Olympic under the title " Chinese Taipei "

Geography

ira [324]3 years ago

Because Taiwan has a political feud with China, China thinks Taiwan is part of their country, therefore does not recognize Taiwan as a official country, hence the name "Chinese Taipei".

I'm Taiwanese, so I'm trying to make this an unbiased answer. Also, we are trying very hard to get the right to use our flag and the name Taiwan in international events.

Answer:

<u>Longitude </u>measure the distance east to west of the prime meridian that runs through greenwich england. Degrees are denoted by the greek word lamba.

  • Earth's tectonic plates move relative to one another in different directions at the speed of 50 to 100mm per year so the movement sin tectonic plates influence the latitudinal rotation which changes from year to year.
