無權者寫信，並做了「政治臆測」(Chi Cheng and those people intend to do is to launch Taiwan independence under the guise of changing the name to Taiwan.)，的確是告密者。

姚元潮寫給國際奧會的原稿    新頭殼 20180725  by Taimocracy翻譯

My name is Yao Yuan-chao, a retired colonel of army, now 88 years old.  After my retirement from Ministry of National Defence, I was employed by and had worked for the Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee for 14 years in charge of international affairs. I am a stalwart loyal to the Olympic Movement.

我的名字是姚元潮，一位已退休的軍隊上校，現年88歲。從國防部退休後，我受僱於中華台北奧林匹克委員會工作了14年，負責國際事務。 我是忠於奧林匹克運動的忠實擁護者。

We know that you are unable to monitor and have to rely on people to speak up the event that may violate the IOC’s policy and affect a nation’s participation in the Olympic Games.

我們知道您無法監控，並且不得不依賴人們發表可能違反國際奧委會政策，並影響國家參與奧運會的事件。

According to news report released on April 4, 2018 by the United Daily News, the Central Election Committee has examined and approved the referendum on “the right name of Taiwan for the Tokyo Olympic Games” proposed by Ms. Chi Cheng, an Olympic track star. The reason given by her is: “ The name of the National Olympic Committee must reflect the territorial extent”

根據《聯合報》2018年4月4日發布的新聞報導，中央選舉委員會審議並批准了奧林匹克競賽紀政女士提出的「台灣東京奧運會正名」公投。理由是：「國家奧委會的名稱必須反映領土範圍」

Citing from the 2nd clause of article 30 of the Olympic Charter ”The name of an NOC must reflect the territorial extent”, Ms. Chi failed to cite the words that follow the part she has cited—and shall be subject to the approval of the IOC Executive Board.  Particularly, she failed to cite the 1st clause of article 30 of the Olympic Charter that in the Olympic Charter, the expression “country” means an independent state recognized by the international community (United Nations)

引用〈奧林匹克憲章〉第30條第2款「NOC的名稱必須反映領土範圍」，紀女士未能引用她所引用的部分之後的詞語—且須經過 IOC執行委員會同意。特別是，她沒有引用〈奧林匹克憲章〉第30條的第1條，即在〈奧林匹克憲章〉中，「國家」一詞是指國際社會（聯合國）承認的獨立國家。

Based on what is said in the above clauses, first, Taiwan doesn’t reflect the territorial extent of its country, since other than Taiwan, there are the Penghu Islands, Kinmen and Matsu. (Taiwan is a part of the Republic of China) Second, since not recognized by the International Community (United Nations), Taiwan is not a country.

根據上述條款的說法，首先，台灣沒有反映其國家的領土範圍，因為除台灣外，還有澎湖列島，金門和馬祖。（台灣是中華民國的一部分）第二，由於沒有得到國際社會（聯合國）的承認，台灣不是一個國家。

As known to all, the name of the team from Taiwan participating in the Olympic Games had been a long time issue until the IOC went to great lengths to solve it by inking an Agreement signed between the International Olympic Committee and Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee in Lausanne on March 23, 1981. Both parties reached the following agreement on the name, and flag of our NOC:

眾所周知，台灣參加奧運會的團隊名稱是一個長期問題，直到國際奧委會通過簽署國際奧委會與「中華台北奧林匹克委員會」在洛桑簽署的協議來解決這個問題。 1981年3月23日，雙方就NOC的名稱和旗幟達成以下協議：

1. The name of the NOC shall be CHINESE TAIPEI OLYMPIC COMMITTEE and is as such hereby approved by the IOC

1.國家奧委會的名稱應為「中華台北奧林匹克委員會」，並經國際奧委會批准

2.The CTOC submits its flag and emblem as per attached specimens, which are hereby approved by the IOC .

2. CTOC根據所附標本提交其旗幟和標誌，並經國際奧委會批准。

Because of this referendum, which apparently acts as politics interfering with sports, it may cause the name’s problem again among the members of Olympic family and what’s more, increase cross-strait crisis, since what Ms.  Chi Cheng and those people intend to do is to launch Taiwan independence under the guise of changing the name to Taiwan.

由於這次公投顯然是政治干預體育運動，它可能會再次引起奧林匹克大家庭成員的名稱問題，更可能導致兩岸危機增加，因為紀政女士和那些人打算做的事情是以台灣正名來推動台獨。

Former President Mr. Samaranch always stressed preventing something from getting worse by stopping it soon before it happens, that had helped prevent a lot of disputes from taking place between Chinese Olympic Committee and Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee.  May I suggest that in respect of this referendum, the IOC issue a warning toward Taiwan authority through Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee so as to prevent any problems in the future from happening .

前主席薩馬蘭奇先生總是強調在事件發生前不久就阻止，以便不讓事情變得更糟，這有助於防止中國奧委會與中華台北奧委會之間發生大量糾紛。我可以建議，就這次公投而言，國際奧委會通過中華台北奧委會向台灣當局發出警告，以防止今後出現任何問題。
