China accepts
NZPA Peking China has said that Taiwan’s decision to compete under a new flag, name, and emblem “is consistent with the spirit of oneChina.” The -China Sports Federation issued a brief statement on Taiwan’s agreement with the International Olympic Committee to adopt a new flag, emblem, and Olympic committee name. At a meeting at Nagoya in 1979, the 1.0. C. recognised the People’s Repub-
lie of China, and barred Taiwan from competition as long p.s it used the old “Republic of China” flag and name. Taiwan now is entitled to compete in the Olympics under the name of the “Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee.” It had been called “Chinese Olympic Committee.” China maintains that Taiwan is a part of China and that the Government in Peking is the sole legitimate representative of the Chinese people.
