[edit] Restoration

Ma Ying-jeou will change it back to Chunghwa Post and Republic of China stamp. Beautiful Formosa (talk) 19:13, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Notice the key word is will, if it is not renamed yet, why are you moving this article? Also, the fact that Ma has not said anything about this after being elected is also important. However, the most important reason is that Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Please provide a reliable source that describes the name reversal before moving this article again. Thank you!--Jerrch 20:26, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

This one too. It merely says might. Now if you want to put that in a section and cite these sources, then I'm fine with it. But there is no need to move this article. The name has not been changed to "Chunghua Post" yet.
Also, the introduction does not make any sense at all, so I am going to revert.--Jerrch 20:26, 28 March 2008 (UTC)


The problem with your reasoning is that you think the name was changed. But according to the laws and regulations of the Republic of China, the Chunghwa Post company was never changed to Taiwan Post. It was an illegal name changed. They mention in the articles that the law procedure and regulations were not changed nor admendment to reflect "Taiwan Post." Therefore, Taiwan Post is an illegal name and should never have been changed on Wikipedia. Just like the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall. We can note in the article that the government illegally changed it, but the Postal Law of the ROC is still in effect and gives it only to Chunghwa Post, not "taiwan" post. So, it should be at Chunghwa Post, but we can say in the beginning it was illegally unilaterally renamed as Taiwan Post. Beautiful Formosa (talk) 23:18, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

I would like to suggest not making any further name change move here for now. After 20 May 2008, inauguration of Ma Ying-jeou, we can then decide. For now, I totally agree that the de jure name is Chunghwa Post but the de facto name as changed by Chen Shui-bian's government is Taiwan Post.--Jusjih (talk) 21:54, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
