A Taiwanese barista just won the World Latte Art Championship. Two weeks later, the organization quietly erased the word "Taiwan" from every record it could find. His name is still there. His country is gone.
On April 12, 2026, Lin Shao-sing, known as Bala, won the World Latte Art Championship in San Diego, competing against 33 baristas from around the world. His win was reported globally with Taiwan clearly identified as his home. Then on April 28, the World Coffee Championships changed every reference on its website from "Taiwan" to "Chinese Taipei." They retroactively edited his championship page. They renamed his YouTube videos. They removed historical ranking PDFs entirely from the website, though archived copies still exist. Even past champions from previous years had their records quietly updated.
One of the main sponsors of the competition was Luckin Coffee, a Chinese state-linked company. The Specialty Coffee Association, the US-based organization that runs the WCC, defended the decision by citing naming conventions used by the IOC and FIFA. It did not notify competitors before making the change.
The IOC convention exists because of a 1981 political agreement forced on Taiwan under threat of exclusion from the Olympics. Applying that same political framework to a coffee competition, retroactively and without transparency, because a Chinese company writes sponsorship cheques, is a different matter entirely.
Berg Wu, who won the World Barista Championship in 2016 representing Taiwan, responded on Facebook: "Taiwan is not just a name. It is an identity and a shared memory built by many competitors, coaches, judges, cafes, roasters and all the consumers who have supported us along the way."
The CCP does not need to ban Taiwan from competitions. It just needs to sponsor them. The name change happens on its own.

VRCには『サマーウォーズ』のOZをフルスクラッチで再現したとんでもないワールドがあるのも恐ろしい
今デジモン公式で同じ細田守監督『ぼくらのウォーゲーム!』が無料公開されているからそれを観た後にここに来ると「デジタルって進化したなぁ」って感慨深い気持ちになれる
