Really?
Which part is troubling? Feeling ashamed by the decision (I certainly do), or labeling Air Canada a company we can be proud of? Surely Air Canada can do better than this - but that would involve so many different improvements, we'd need an entire online forum dedicated to debating them

The decision is shameful, given this is something they never needed to do especially after being given easy ground cover by United, Delta, American and a few other global carriers....I don't think China would have even remembered Air Canada exists or noticed if they did or didn't change Taiwan's designation on the website.
