1976年7月16日，很可惜，那是戒嚴時期，台灣人沒能有機會表達太多的意見，那一年，我國中一年級要升二年級，還不知道世界發生甚麼事，也不知道台灣之外的世界長甚麼樣子，45年後，台灣人當家作主了，如果我們對此議題還是無感，如果我們還滿足於中華台北這種莫名其妙的稱號，那種歡呼起來不痛不癢，無法讓人亢奮的稱呼，要怪誰呢?
1976年加拿大蒙特羅奧運會
Taiwan’s 1976 Summer Olympic team — then the Republic of China team — was connecting from Toronto via LAX on their way back to Taipei.
The 42-member ROC team was registered to take part in 10 events at the Montreal Olympic Games: track and field, boxing, cycling, judo, swimming, modern pentathlon, equestrian, shooting, yachting and archery.
But the Republic of China team had been barred by prime minister Pierre Trudeau (father of current Canadian PM Justin Trudeau) from competing.
In response, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) threatened to cancel the Olympics, declaring Canada had overstepped its bounds and breached the Olympic principles. However less than two weeks later, the IOC sided with Canada: the name, flag and anthem of the Republic of China would not be allowed to compete.
The compromise suggested by Trudeau Sr. was for the ROC team to compete as “Taiwan” instead. But out of principle, the ROC National Olympics Committee refused.
So Taiwan’s athletes were denied visas to enter Canada. They had flown all the way to Toronto only to turn right back around.
A few months later in November 1976, the IOC would officially recognize the People’s Republic of China as the only Chinese government represented at the Olympics. In 1979, the name “Chinese Taipei” became official.
