At least this would give ammunition to push CBP on preventing Taiwan holders from using US CBP APEC lanes. Would be nice if US gives Taiwan a date of say (Feb 2015) to fix this or they will STOP allowing Taiwan APEC holders access. Watch Taiwan Govt fix it quick...

How do we all suggest pushing CBP to look into this?

Likely it's not having TW on the back of the card endorsement means Taiwan has no info on the Pax in their system. YOU WOULD think then that they would still modify process to allow lane use ONLY if from Visa Waiver country and using a secondary document for entry with APEC card just for lane entry.
