Chinese Taipei

The Republic of China Olympic Committee (ROCOC) Sept. 8 rejected the recommendation of the Executive Board of the International Olympic Committee that the ROCOC be re-named the “Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee,” with the condition that it adopts an anthem and flag which are different from those of the Republic of China used at present.
