Removal of the Chinese Wild Bird Federation from BirdLife's partnership
BirdLife International's relationship with its Taiwanese partner became contentious over the partner's Chinese and English names, political commitments, associations with Taiwanese government bodies, and display of Taiwanese flags and symbols. BirdLife voted to remove the organization from its partnership programme on 7 September 2020. The dispute generated criticism concerning political pressure, organizational autonomy, and BirdLife's internal direction to staff not to comment publicly.
