they just identified the anthem as being that of the Republic of China, which is the official name of Taiwan. That's a pretty good faux pas as it is.

Announcer said "Republic of China", when introducing the anthem, instead of the "Peoples' Republic of China".
(The first is the official name of Taiwan..)
Seems the wrong anthem story is getting an internet life of its own...
