Access Now, the group that organizes RightsCon, says Zambian officials asked it to exclude Taiwanese participants if it wanted the event to proceed as planned.

In a statement, Access Now says it was “told that diplomats from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) were putting pressure on the Government of Zambia because Taiwanese civil society participants were planning to join us in person.”

    From Wikipedia:

    One China is a phrase with variant meanings, adopted by many states and other actors to describe their stance on the relationship between the People’s Republic of China (PRC) based on mainland China, and the Republic of China (ROC) based on the Taiwan Area. “One China” asserts that there is only one from the People’s Republic of China (PRC), despite the de facto division between the two rival governments from the aftermath of the Chinese Civil War

    I’ve been to China, mind you. If you visit their national history museum next to Tian’anmen plaza, you’ll be surprised to find how fucking woke they are with the constant references to the different ethnicities of China and their history even in some exhibits that, for historical reasons, center around “core” China.
