大家好，我是Klaus 下面要来讲一件跟考试并不直接有关，但蛮多同学表达关心的事情 最近算是有点後知後觉地在同学的GMAT成绩单上面发现被冠了C开头A结尾的国名，其实当 下没有很不爽，毕竟看多了，但心头就是有种被鲠住的感觉，所以找了应对此类事情的信 件模板，花了点时间修改一下後就给GMAC跟ETS了。 根据我某位花了一个月让旅游网站把Taipei, China改成Taipei, Taiwan的朋友说，夺命 连环寄信对承办人员或许也是种困扰。所以我并没有要揪一推人去塞爆人家的e-mail信箱 ，只是单纯分享；如果最近正在准备或者已经考完留学考试的你，对於被冠上C开头A结尾 的国名有想法的话，或许也可以把你的心声寄给上述机构。我的文字档直接贴在下面，需 要自取。 https://i.imgur.com/LOUcUKT.png --------------------------- Dear Sir or Madam, I was recently made aware that on GMAT's official website https://www.mba.com/ you have listed Taiwan as a province of, or belonging to People's Republic of China by referring Taiwan as "Taiwan, China". This is incorrect. Despite misinformation from the authoritarian government in Beijing, neither international law, nor the United States, recognizes China’ s claim on Taiwan. In fact, official U.S. Government guidance (https://www.uscis.gov/policymanual/HTML/PolicyManual-Volume12-PartK-Chapter2.html#footnote-4) is only the name “Taiwan” should be used. This policy includes documents such as passports, visas, green cards, and others. Not to mention, United Stated has a much stricter standard issuing student visa to Chinese students than to Taiwanese students. The identification of Taiwan as “Taiwan, China” rather than as “Taiwan” may seem like playing with words, but it is confusing and misleading to international test-takers who may mistakenly believe that they need to apply to the Chinese embassy for a visa to travel to Taiwan. Considering many countries have a reciprocal visa-waiver with Taiwan and Taiwan has never been governed by the People’s Republic of China, it’s complete misinformation to classify Taiwan as belonging to China. Showing Taiwan as part of China also denies the human rights and the right to self-determination for the 23 million people of Taiwan, who have established a democracy that is a shining example in Asia. These rights are enshrined in the United Nations Charter, in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. I realize that the current information you have incorrect is likely due to an oversight, so I look forward to a correction as soon as possible. I would greatly appreciate the courtesy of a reply when the misinformation is corrected. If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.

The identification of Taiwan as“Taiwan, China” rather than as“Taiwan” may seem like playing with words, but it is very confusing and causing trouble to test-takers who plans to take TOEFL in test centers in Taiwan. Some test-takers may mistakenly believe that they need to register the test (if they want to take it in Taiwan) through another website because the Register for the TOEFL iBTR Test page (https://www.ets.org/toefl/ibt/register/?WT.ac=toeflhome_registerfortest_180910) indicates: "Testing in China (except Hong Kong and Macau): Register at http://toefl.etest.net.cn/ or see http://www.neea.edu.cn/. Some policies and procedures for China may differ from those on this website." By listing Taiwan as "Taiwan, China" may mislead test-takers to the chinese websites, where they will not find or register test at any test centers in Taiwan.
