an investigation into how the Royal Grenada Police Band could have prepared the anthem of Taiwan instead of China. Investigator: "How could this happen?"
Band leader: "We got the wrong sheet music."
Investigator: "Oh. Okay."

Considering that these state events are planned months ahead and nobody caught this … one has to wonder.

$10 says there was a couple of US Military members somewhere in the area laughing and can't believe the band just believed them when they told them what song to play.

Well we ran the Russians and Cubans out in the 1980's so I guess the Chicoms have taken over and we do not care anymore.

Chinese Ambassador Qian Hongshan and scores of blue-uniformed Chinese laborers who built the $40 million Queen's Park stadium as a gift were visibly uncomfortable as Taiwan's anthem echoed inside the 20,000-seat venue.My feeling is that they were probably trying to avoid laughing out loud.

"Republic of China" is the formal name of Taiwan. China is known formally as the People's Republic of China I didn't know Taiwan's official name is "Republic of China", so I could have easily made the same mistake.
