In a victory for China's Government, the final three of 44 international airlines told to change the way they refer to the self-governing island of Taiwan have complied just before a deadline expired.
American Airlines, Delta and United Airlines all dropped references to "Taiwan" on their websites to meet the July 25 deadline imposed by Beijing — a demand previously described by the US government as "Orwellian nonsense".
Qantas was among the airlines targeted in a Chinese Civil Aviation letter earlier this year that threatened punishment for carriers that refer to Taiwan as a country, breaching China's laws.
Qantas confirmed it would comply with Beijing's demand, and now lists cities like Taipei as being part of Taiwan, China.
