大家好，我是Klaus 下面要來講一件跟考試並不直接有關，但蠻多同學表達關心的事情最近算是有點後知後覺地在同學的GMAT成績單上面發現被冠了C開頭A結尾的國名，其實當下沒有很不爽，畢竟看多了，但心頭就是有種被鯁住的感覺，所以找了應對此類事情的信件模板，花了點時間修改一下後就給GMAC跟ETS了。根據我某位花了一個月讓旅遊網站把Taipei, China改成Taipei, Taiwan的朋友說，奪命連環寄信對承辦人員或許也是種困擾。所以我並沒有要揪一推人去塞爆人家的e-mail信箱，只是單純分享；如果最近正在準備或者已經考完留學考試的你，對於被冠上C開頭A結尾的國名有想法的話，或許也可以把你的心聲寄給上述機構。我的文字檔直接貼在下面，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.
