Contrary to the headline, Taiwan didn’t cancel First. The sequence of portrayal may be ‘out of order’.

-“Taiwan [[had] announced Jul 10 that it would send the digital minister as a representative of the island [Country] to the Olympics.”-

The were then advised by the IOC specifically:

“the spokesman said the IOC sent a notice to Taiwan on Wed stating attendance July 23 opening ceremony of the Games would be limited to heads of state.” -

Taiwan has canceled the dispatch of Digital Minister Audrey Tang to Japan to attend the Tokyo Olympics after organizers restricted the number of participants to prevent coronavirus infections, a cabinet spokesperson said.

Tang is transgender and has a policy of "radical transparency", recording and uploading meetings that are behind the scenes so obviously not welcome by the LDP gerontocrats during their rapidly disintegrating sports day.

The spokesperson said the International Olympic Committee had sent a notice to Taiwan on Wednesday stating attendance at the July 23 opening ceremony of the Tokyo Games would be limited to heads of state.

Who do they think will believe this blatant lie. We know they are succumbing to threats from a certain nation. Not up to 10 head of states will attend this virus games. Everyday one gets up to lies and propaganda of this olympic, it is so frustrating.

Audrey Tang are a ‘real person’ @CommodorPerry 6:14pm with real IT experience and ingenuity, unlike Japan’s Hatsune Miku or, ex-Olympic chief/cybersecurity minister Sakurada Yoshitaka, for that matter.

“Tang has identified as "post-gender" and accepts "whatever pronoun people want to describe me with online." -

Audrey’s ‘uninvite’ happened for more than just one ‘political’ reason of which ‘The Big Neighbors’ don’t approve.
