Taiwan separatists to blame for politicizing sports event

The Taiwan authority has only itself to blame for the decision by the East Asian Olympic Committee to cancel the East Asian Youth Games, which were due to be held in Taichung on the island next year.

The decision was made at a special meeting of the EAOC in Beijing on Tuesday, with only Taiwan's representative at the meeting objecting.

A spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council said on Wednesday that it was the right decision to cancel the games, which was due to some provocative actions by some groups on the island.
