Tibet[edit]

In April 2019 the web-page:

  • "Controversy After Changes Made to Depict Taiwan as Part of China on LSE Sculpture". New Bloom Magazine. 12 April 2019. Retrieved 14 January 2020.

stated:

In the original version of the sculpture, Taiwan was depicted in a different color from China, as was Tibet. Taipei and Lhasa were also marked as the political capitals of Taiwan and Tibet respectively. However, following protests from Chinese students, Taiwan was repainted to be the same color as China and the red dot that originally marked Taipei was changed to a black dot, downgrading Taipei to the status of a Chinese city rather than a political capital. It is unknown whether Tibet will eventually be repainted to be the same color as China and Lhasa’s red dot changed to a black dot.

Disputed territories[edit]

Two obvious ones are Northern Cyprus and Crimea but there are many more. Less so would be places like Gibraltar. So how are the disputed territories mapped onto this globe? -- PBS (talk) 23:23, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
