Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) on Tuesday urged the Danish government to correct its description of Taiwan on residence permits that implies Taiwan is part of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) or face retaliatory measures.
MOFA spokesman Hsiao Kuangwei (蕭光偉) said Taiwan “condemned” the Danish government’s listing of the nationality of Taiwanese citizens on residence permits as “China.”
The change is not consistent with the longstanding foreign policy of European Union member states nor with the principles of democracy and human rights, he said.

Just FYI, this is a change that is at least a year old.
