CHINA EXERTS PRESSURE ON UNOFFICIAL OFFICES TO CHANGE NAMES|外交危機 5非邦交國要求我外館改名

China's diplomatic hostility continues after it made Panama cut ties with Taiwan. Taiwan's representative office in Nigeria has been asked to drop the words ROC from its name and use Taipei instead. In response, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has asked the Nigerian representative office in Taipei to leave the city. ==ANTONIO CHEN, Dir-Gen MOFA West Asia and African Affairs Dept.== Dubai, Bahrain and Ecuador are not very resistant to pressure, they are not very strong, we don't have many cards to play. A more risky country where we have been forced to change the name, Jordan seems ok so far, both sides are in discussion. In addition to Nigeria, MOFA said that Chinese pressure to demand a name change was also reported in Bahrain, Ecuador, Dubai, and Jordan. In fact, Nigeria informed the ROC at the end of March, to move out of the capital within a week, saying that it could not guarantee its safety, prompting Taiwan to recall its representative and temporarily close the office. The MOFA will likely change the office's name as requested before seeking to resume its operations.
