China’s Taiwan Affairs Office spokesperson Ma Xiaoguang has formally extended an invitation for Taiwanese athletes to take part in the upcoming Beijing Olympics. The games are slated to open February 4, 2022.
However, the Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee says that none of Taiwan’s athletes have been notified yet that they are qualified for the games.
Meanwhile, Presidential Office Spokesperson Xavier Chang says that the government will take developments into account before making any decisions. He said the government will take up the responsibility of protecting the rights of Taiwan’s athletes.
