QANTAS has announced that they will be referring to Taiwan as a territory of China and not an independent nation, following pressure from Beijing.
QANTAS chief executive Alan Joyce said that they plan to comply with the Chinese aviation regulator’s demand to remove references to Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau as independent countries.
Foreign Affairs Minister Julie Bishop is against the decision, saying private companies should be free to conduct their usual business operations free from the political pressure of governments.
