TAIPEI, Taiwan -- The Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee (CTOC, 中華奧林匹克委員會) responded to online criticism of the outfits worn by Taiwan's delegates to the Sochi Winter Olympics yesterday, with CTOC Secretary-General Chen Kuo-yi (陳國儀) saying that different people have different standards and senses of beauty, and the CTOC respects criticism and opinions from people.
