Taiwanese Taekwondo champion, Yang Shu-chun was disqualified by judges in China in a controversial call over the type of socks she was wearing in what appears to have been a set-up to get her out of the competition.
With this second slap in the face, following that of the Tokyo Film Festival, the government of Ma Ying-jeou appears to be waiting to see what way the wind of Taiwanese protest is blowing before it comes out with an official statement.
