China is boycotting a major Asian art festival over the naming of a Taiwanese exhibition

Chinese artists pulled out of the Gwangju Biennale in protest after organizers allowed Taiwanese works to be labeled the "Taiwan Pavilion," turning an art show into a political dispute.
Organizers apologized, saying a contract with the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts and a later insistence on the "Taiwan Pavilion" name created confusion.
The episode underscores broader China–Taiwan–South Korea sensitivities and could strain diplomatic ties, though any escalation remains uncertain.
