The foreign ministry justified its advice to Air India to change the name of Taiwan as being consistent with international norms and Indian policy. Since Wednesday, Air India lists Taiwan as 'Taipei, Taoyuan International Airport, TPE, Chinese Taipei' on its website. Taiwanese media slammed India’s decision, describing it as “kowtowing” to Beijing. The only airlines which have not followed China’s diktat are American Airlines, Delta, United Airlines, Asiana Airlines, Korean Air, and Vietnam Airlines. The decision comes as the govt has gone the extra mile to make nice with China in the past few months, raising questions about whether India had compromised its traditional positions. The Modi govt used to be proud of declaring that they had told off China on India’s “one-China” policy. <br/>
