China's Huawei, the tech giant under scrutiny for its alleged links to the Chinese government, has become caught up in a controversy surrounding the representation of Taiwan.
Huawei has come under fire for allegedly implying in its smartphone settings that Taiwan is independent.
Despite a backlash on social media, Huawei has declined to comment.
It is the latest firm - and an unexpected one - to get caught up in this kind of controversy.
Global brands such as Versace, Coach, Givenchy, and Swarovski all faced similar criticism this week for listing Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan as a separate countries or regions - not part of China - on their official websites or branded T-shirts.
