Ooops! China announced with Taiwan's name
Thu, 04/20/2006 - 2:24pm
We're getting word from two different sources that at the South Lawn ceremony today, an American announcer referred to the national anthem of "the Republic of China." That means Taiwan. Beijing goes by "the People's Republic of China."
Honest mistake, we assume. But still kind of funny. We'll confirm it once we have more.
Update: It's true. It is 1 minute, 25 seconds into the video entitled "White House Arrival Ceremony for Chinese Pres. Hu Jintao" at C-Span.org.
Update 2: It's all over the place now.
