What did you expect her to say, the team of Zhonghua Taipei or Taiwan? That forced her to do the difficult thing for a young college girl from the Mainland. Besides, the formal English team name is Chinese Taipei, bearing no connection with ZhongHua or Taiwan.
BTW, I remember when at its nascent stage, DPP had always emphasized the famous quote of Voltaire: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." Dont you forget it, man?
