HE ZHENLIANG AND CHINA'S OLYMPIC DREAM and the delegation took it up with the organizing committee. Zhenliang also reported it to President Samaranch. The result was that the Yugoslavian orga­ nizing committee scraped off from the signature the characters that violated the rules. President Samaranch also severely criticized the Chinese Taipei delegation. In the Calgary Winter Olympic Games in February 1988 in Canada, it was discovered that a Taiwanese bobsled athlete had an emblem of the so­ called "Republic of China" on his helmet and, after.we intervened, the IOC gave the Chinese Taipei team a severe warning. Taiwan apologized and guar­ anteed that from then on this kind of thing would not happen again. Seven months later priorto the Seoul Olympic Games in September 1988, when the Chinese Taipei sports team arrived at Seoul Kampo airport, the guide held up a placard that used the words "Republic of China Sport Delegation." A journalist from China took a picture of it and on the same day handed it to Zhenliang, who showed it to Samaranch at the next morning's meeting of the IOC Executive Board. Samaranch was very angry. Samaranch passed the photo around the Executive Board and said, "We should immediately write a letter to the Chinese Taipei delegation and give them a warning that, if this kind of thing happens again, we will revoke their right to participate in this games." The Canadian board member Dick Pound said we should summon the Tai­ wanese officials and warn them, and at the same time write an official letter to them. At half past twelve, the secretary-general ofthe Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee Li Ching-hua, the IOC member Wu Ching-kuo, and the honorary member Henry Hsu came to the meeting hall. Samaranch handed them the photo and asked them to explain it. Wu Ching-kuo said that he had no knowl­ edge of this event because he was not there. Li Ching-hua also said he didn't know about it, apparently it was done by overseas Chinese living in Seoul, and he said that, before coming to Seoul they had held a special seminar explaining what they could and couldn't do, and furthermore had inspected all the uniforms. Wu added that he had also presented at the seminar the agreement 298.
