TAIPEI -- Taiwan has objected to moves by Japan Airlines and ANA Holdings to label the self-governing island as part of China on their websites in response to demands from Beijing.
As of Monday, the two Japanese carriers had switched to "Taiwan, China" on their sites for customers from the mainland and Hong Kong while calling the island simply "Taiwan" elsewhere. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs here lodged a strong protest with Tokyo via Taiwan's de facto embassy in Japan on Monday, decrying what it called Beijing's high-handed pressure on Taipei.
