US Lawmakers Want Hotels to Avoid Using 'China Taiwan'
zuì jìn最近 ，liǎng两wèi位měi guó美国de的yì yuán议员xiě xìn写信gěi给sān三jiā家dà大jiǔ diàn酒店gōng sī公司 ，gào sù告诉tā men他们bú yào不要zài在wǎng zhàn网站shàng上yòng用 “zhōng guó tái wān中国台湾 ”zhè gè这个cí词 。
Recently, two US lawmakers wrote letters to three major hotel companies, asking them not to use the term 'China Taiwan' on their websites.
tā men他们jué de觉得zhè yàng这样shuō说bù不duì对 ，yīn wèi因为měi guó美国de的zhèng cè政策shì是bǎ把tái wān台湾hé和zhōng guó中国fēn kāi分开kàn看 。
They believe this is incorrect because US policy treats Taiwan and China as separate entities.
yì yuán议员men们shuō说 ，rú guǒ如果yòng用 “zhōng guó中国tái wān台湾 ” ，hǎo xiàng好像shì是zài在shuō说tái wān台湾shì是zhōng guó中国de的yī bù fèn一部分 ，zhè这huì会ràng让tái wān台湾de的dì wèi地位biàn dé变得bù不qīng chǔ清楚 。
The lawmakers said that using 'China Taiwan' seems to imply that Taiwan is part of China, which makes Taiwan's status unclear.
měi guó美国hé和tái wān台湾yǒu有hěn很hǎo好de的guān xì关系 ，yě也zhī chí支持tái wān台湾cān jiā参加guó jì国际huó dòng活动 。
The US has a good relationship with Taiwan and supports Taiwan's participation in international activities.
yì yuán议员men们xī wàng希望zhè xiē这些jiǔ diàn酒店gōng sī公司néng能xiàng像qí tā其他dà大gōng sī公司yī yàng一样 ，bǎ把tái wān台湾dān dú单独xiě写chū lái出来 ，bú yào不要jiā shàng加上 “zhōng guó中国 ” 。
The lawmakers hope these hotel companies, like other big companies, will list Taiwan separately without adding 'China'.
tóng yī同一tiān天 ，tái wān台湾de的wài zhǎng外长lín jiā lóng林佳龙yě也shuō说 ，tái wān台湾shì是zì jǐ自己xuǎn选zhèng fǔ政府de的guó jiā国家 ，bú shì不是zhōng guó中国shuō le suàn说了算 。
On the same day, Taiwan's Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung also said that Taiwan is a country that chooses its own government, not decided by China.
tā他hái还shuō说 ，tái wān台湾yuàn yì愿意hé和zhōng guó中国duì huà对话 ，xiān先cóng从yǒu hǎo友好kāi shǐ开始 。
He also said Taiwan is willing to have dialogue with China, starting with friendly talks.
zhōng guó中国zhèng fǔ政府bù不tóng yì同意tái wān台湾shì是yí gè一个guó jiā国家 ，tā men他们shuō说tái wān台湾shì是zhōng guó中国de的yī bù fèn一部分 。
The Chinese government does not agree that Taiwan is a country; they say Taiwan is part of China.
zuì jìn最近 ，zhōng guó中国duì对tái wān台湾de的yā lì压力biàn变dà大le了 ，dàn但tái wān台湾de的lǐng dǎo rén领导人xī wàng希望néng能hé píng和平duì huà对话 。
Recently, China has increased pressure on Taiwan, but Taiwan's leaders hope for peaceful dialogue.
