I can recall from a personal experience while working for a UN agency. We had a form with country dropdown selector, and it included Taiwan. We had huge pressure from the local Chinese embassy to remove it. And they also called up some really high up UN officials, all for a dropdown!

  Interesting. The Republic of China's most recent request for admission was turned down in 2007,[1] but a number of European governments—led by the United States—protested to the UN's Office of Legal Affairs to force the global body and its secretary-general to stop using the reference “Taiwan is a part of China”.[2]
