Re: Petition to Change China Airlines name to Taiwan Airlines as Countries Mistakenly Ban it Over Caronavirus

Changing it to Taiwan Airlines is not that easy or simple. PRC doesn’t like the idea of Taiwan (Republic of China, hence the name) being independent (even though they effectively are) so they will likely ban the airline from flying to Mainland Chinese airports. If China Airlines were to change their...
