• Burkina Faso. An airline website. A T-shirt. No target is too small as China steps up pressure on Taiwan, the self-governing island it claims.

In recent weeks, Delta apologized for causing China “emotional damage” by listing Taiwan as a separate entity on its website. The Gap pulled a T-shirt that omitted Taiwan from a map of China, adding that it “respects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of China.” And the African country of Burkina Faso severed ties with Taiwan, which now has diplomatic relations with just 17 countries.

But the attacks could backfire, by making more Taiwanese adamant about their separateness, and a former president, Lee Teng-hui, is pushing for a referendum to explicitly name the island Taiwan, rather than the Republic of China.
