BEIJING (AP) — Taiwanese speedskater Huang Yu-ting is facing the heat from the audience back home after she posted a video on her Instagram page wearing an athletic suit showing “China” prominently on the back just before the Olympics began. Taiwanese internet users flooded her Facebook page with comments decrying her choice in wardrobe, as it seemed to suggest she supported China. China claims the self-ruled island as part of its territory. That’s forced Taiwan to strike a deal with the Olympics organizers to compete under the name “Chinese Taipei.”
