By DAVID NG –The 78th Venice Film Festival in Italy is refusing to acknowledge the existence of Taiwan, referring to the country as “Chinese Taipei” or simply “Taipei” — which is Taiwan’s capital city — on its official site.
Festival officials, who didn’t reply to a request for comment from Breitbart News, have used the “Taipei” label on at least two Taiwanese films in this year’s official line-up — celebrated filmmaker Tsai Ming-liang’s short documentary The Night, and Chung Mong-hong’s drama The Falls.
