China
has pulled out of the 23rd Tokyo International Film Festival due to a
sovereignty issue over
Taiwan
and announced it will boycott other festival-related events.
The head of the Chinese delegation, Jiang Ping, told festival organizers that the Taiwanese delegation must not attend the festival under the name Taiwan, but as "Chinese Taipei," which Taiwan used while participating in the Olympic Games, shortly before celebrities began to walk down a green carpet to mark the start of the festival.
