Smooth move, gentlemen. The next time you announce the formal title of China before the anthem plays, could you try to get the title right? Don't make the world think this country is any more idiotic than they already do. It doesn't take very long to run a check through Google, just to make sure.
The rest of us Americans who actually use our brains would appreciate this. Thanks.
Earlier, in a protocol gaffe, when China's national anthem was announced, it was referred to as the anthem of the Republic of China -- the formal name of Taiwan. China's formal name is the People's Republic of China.
