Again, the Case for Taiwan

Submitted by Steve, Sep 12, 2007 22:34

It's great seeing the Taiwan government voicing out internationally. I hope more external communication efforts will take place going forward. Taiwan also needs to let the world know that 70+ % of the population supports the membership application into the UN (using the name "TAIWAN"). The more China suppresses Taiwan globally, the more negative reverberations this will create among the Taiwanese. Seriously, if you ask a few people off the street of Taipei, most of them will tell you that we have zero desire to become a citizen of China. So, blocking the application because some 'large nation' says no doesn't make any sense. Minister Shieh, keep up the good work! It's a long road to go, but I'm sure we'll get there.
