Environmental action group Greenpeace is facing a fundraising crisis in Taiwan after it included the island in a map of China.
Taiwan has been a self-ruling political entity since 1950, but China claims the territory and has pushed the international community to break official ties with the Taiwanese government.
Greenpeace apologized and said it was an error, but the public statement didn’t stop Taiwanese from making their anger known on the organization’s official Facebook page and calling on their compatriots to stop donating.
NGO workers also speculated that the inclusion wasn’t actually a mistake, but a consequence of China’s foreign NGO management law, which requires groups operating in the country to have a government entity sponsor.
