QANTAS CHECKS QUlLLS


QANTAS changes website to recognise Chinese territories.

Qantas has changed its website and classification of Taiwan and Hong Kong from separate countries  to Chinese Territories-

After Chinese regulators scolded several foreign firms over similar listings.

The airline said Tuesday it was amending an ''oversight'' following in the footsteps of several other  international corporations who were in the past week called out by Chinese authorities.

''Due to an oversight, some Chinese territories were incorrectly listed as ''countries'' on parts of our website,'' a Qantas spokesperson told AFP.   

''We are correcting this error.''

Shanghai's cyberspace authority last week sent a stern message to  international firms when it ordered Marriott to shutdown its Chinese website for a week and amend what it termed the ''illegal'' categorization of regions Beijing claims  under its authority.

Spanish clothing giant Zara, Delta airlines and Medtronic - a medical device company -were also called out for listing, Tibet, Taiwan and Hong Kong as separate countries.

The firms were urged to ''immediately alter their illegal content and publish apologies''.
