Legislature votes to update passport and CAL’s nameBy Sean Lin / Staff reporterThe Legislative Yuan yesterday resolved to update the nation’s passport to highlight the Chinese and English for “Taiwan,” and to devise “feasible” ways to rename state-run China Airlines Ltd (CAL, 中華航空) to differentiate it from its Chinese counterpart, Air China. Taiwan Statebuilding Party Legislator Chen Po-wei comments on a resolution in favor of highlighting the word “Taiwan” on the passport at the Legislative Yuan in Taipei yesterday. The ministry in the long term should devise feasible ways to change the English-language name of China Airlines, it says. The ministry said that it has instructed the China Aviation Development Foundation (中華航空事業發展基金會) — China Airlines’ largest shareholder — to form a consultancy team to discuss the legislature’s resolution. China Airlines said that it had no comment on the resolution.
