China says Olympic torch to pass through Taiwan, Taipei rejects

BEIJING, China - China celebrates the announcement of the Olympic torch relay course for the 2008 Beijing games with a display of fireworks in the capital on April 26. Organizers said the torch will travel to Taiwan, a self-ruled island that China considers a renegade province, but Taipei has rejected the idea, saying the plan shows an attempt to downgrade Taiwan's sovereignty.
