Seoul to revise disputed e-arrival card, report saysStaff writer, with CNA, SEOULSouth Korea is planning to revise its controversial electronic arrival card, a step Taiwanese officials said prompted them to hold off on planned retaliatory measures, a South Korean media report said yesterday. A Yonhap News Agency report said that the South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs is planning to remove the “previous departure place” and “next destination” fields from its e-arrival card system. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs logo in Taipei is pictured in an undated photograph. The change follows controversy over the system listing Taiwan as “China (Taiwan)” in dropdown menus in its online entry system. Earlier, Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it would consider retaliatory adjustments to how South Korea is labeled in Taiwan’s own system if no response was received by yesterday.
