A row over whether the Democratic Progressive Party's new campaign jackets were made in China ended with a simple answer: the label says Cambodia.

• Former president Tsai Ing-wen joined the DPP's "Taipei team" at the city election commission to register candidates, all wearing matching beige suit jackets.
• Critics quickly claimed the jackets were Chinese-made — a common political attack in Taiwan.
• Taipei councillor Lin Liang-chun said the jackets are from Taiwanese brand NET and the label reads Cambodia, joking that it also starts with a C.
• The matching outfits replaced the team's usual baseball jerseys, meant to signal unity and a more professional look ahead of the campaign.

Outlook: The jacket flap is settled, but expect more "made in China" jabs as Taipei's local election race heats up.
