I watched the baseball game of Little League Baseball in ESPN this Thursday. It was a semifinal competition between Taiwan and Curacao (I had the faintest idea about it’s a country or place). Before Chinese Taipei (the official name shown on ESPN) won, Mexico team was there and watched their future opponents. The performances of the baseball players from Taiwan absolutely stunned them. And then, Mexico team told the reporter that "China" was awesome and they look forward to meeting with those players in the game. So, in their logical thinking, they will face China team if Taiwan team wins... It's definitely a funny sentence! But, like Jim said, Mexico can't tell the differences between Taiwan and China in a political situation. I just wonder they will not be confused if our team is called Taiwan instead of Chinese Taipei. Anyway, Taiwan won and will contend with Mexico this Sunday! Cheer for those "fake China" players who are actually from Taiwan!!
