The 'Rebel Heart' hitmaker actually managed to unite China and Taiwan in their outrage over her latest stunt during her first-ever concert in Taiwan on Thursday, February 4.

AceShowbiz - Madonna has landed in hot water after draping herself in Taiwanese flag during her "Rebel Heart" Tour in Taiwan on Thursday night, February 4. The 57-year-old songstress actually managed to unite China and Taiwan in their outrage over her latest stunt.

Madonna's stunt sparked outrage in China who continues to consider Taiwan a province, not an independent country. One Chinese fan wrote on Twitter, "Did you run out of your cone-shaped bras and had nothing better to wear?! Stupid Western woman with no modesty."

On the same day, Madonna posted on Facebook a picture of herself at the center of a blue star design - which somebody in her organization presumably believed to be a national emblem. "Take a Bow Tai-Pei #rebelhearttour' -Madonna," she wrote alongside the photo.

The symbol is actually an old badge of the Taiwanese political party the Kuomintang (KMT) which for many Taiwanese it is strongly associated with the "White Terror", one of the bloodiest times in the country's history.

One commenter wrote, "OMG this is not Taiwan or Taipei's symbol ,this is the symbol of the party KMT that kills so many Taiwanese.please correct this ridiculous mistake.show some respect to this island." Another commenter posted, "This is the symbol of KMT, a party which came from China and killed many Taiwanese people. It's a pity that most people think the symbol stands for Taiwan. I really have to say that KMT is not a local party in Taiwan. The ROC government considers Taiwan as a colony."

Madonna's representative hasn't commented on the issue yet. Following her concert, the singer thanked her fans for their support. "Thank You TaiPei‼ Your Energy was electric and Amazing! #rebelhearttour," she wrote.
