Shen Lyu-shun
Shen Lyu-shun (Chinese: 沈呂巡; 12 November 1949 – 6 January 2023) was a Taiwanese diplomat who served at posts in the United States and Europe.[5][7] During Shen's time there, the office filed a lawsuit against the International Organization for Standardization, based in Geneva, regarding ISO 3166-2:CN code, which listed Taiwan as a province of China.[11] Speaking at the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C., on 7 May 2014, Shen lauded Taiwan's ability in playing a greater role in the American pivot to Asia and helping maintain regional peace for the benefit for all.According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Taiwan also donated medical protective gear, coveralls and surgical masks through a cooperation program with the United States.[16] The People's Republic of China lodged a protest with the United States over the incident, but Shen defended the flag-raising as having occurred due to "precedent," as the flag was raised during Double Ten Day celebrations in 2014.
