Taiwan's foreign ministry has pulled its Geneva representative home for questioning over money and workplace abuse complaints, a bad look for a diplomatic post that handles Taiwan's ties with UN bodies.

• Li Kuan-te, head of Taiwan's office in Geneva, is accused of misusing public money and bullying staff, and returned to Taipei this week to face questions.
• Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung says a special team, including outside experts, is on the case and should finish in about two months.
• The complaints came in late July, and there are reports Li tried to identify whoever reported him.
• Separately, South Korea's Gwangju Biennale renamed the Taiwan Pavilion and erased "Taiwan" from its official poster, and Taipei is pushing back hard.

Outlook: Results of the Geneva probe are expected within two months, while Taiwan keeps pressing Gwangju organizers to restore the Taiwan name before the art event opens.
