=====================

The people of Taiwan were shocked, saddened and resented by Mr. Thomas Christensen’s speech.  We strongly demand that Mr. Christensen apologize to the people of Taiwan and our President Chen for what he said that the UN membership referendum was “ill-conceived and harmful” and was for “domestic political pasturing”.   Mr. Christensen is so very WRONG!  The UN membership referendum is the PEOPLE’S CHOICE!  The PEOPLE of TAIWAN are the BACKBONE of OUR PRESIDENT CHEN!!!

It is a rare opportunity for the people of Taiwan to read US high official’s speech transcript on an intensely debated issue right after the speech was made.  We welcome this new and necessary practice and are looking forward to more US government’s direct dialogue with the people of Taiwan on an ongoing basis.  Reading Thomas Christensen’s speech 《Strong and Moderate Taiwan》 just likes reading his mind. 

Through this type of communication, the people of Taiwan could explicitly convey to the US government the MAINSTREAM opinions of (78%) the people of Taiwan’s desire and commitment for Taiwan to be accepted as a nation by the international community.  We should:

1. Confidently demonstrate the people of Taiwan’s strong will, firm position and resolute pursuit of Taiwan Independence.

2. Strongly support President Chen for the people’s initiative to join UN under the name of Taiwan.

3. Persistently request direct dialogues among top government officials of Tiawan and USA.

4. Constantly monitor/evaluate the process of US government policy making regarding Taiwan.

5. Effectively send out the message: Independent Taiwan means independence from a tyranny--China ->> A Free and Democratic World without Communism.

I. The People of Taiwan were SHOCKED by Mr. Christensen’s speech. 

The people of Taiwan were SHOCKED by Mr. Christensen’s speech because Taiwan-US policy-making officers as high as Tom Christensen is so out of touch with Taiwan’s reality, particularly the majority of Taiwan people’s strong will and determination for pursuit of Taiwan Independence.  The year of 2006 was a wakeup call for the people of Taiwan and a turning point of Taiwan society.  After suffering from the so called 2006 “Anti-Corruption” episode conspired by KMT and Communist China, the people of Taiwan came to our own conclusion that this incident was in fact an evil event full of hatred towards Taiwanese in general and our President Chen and our government in particular.  The deeply wounded Taiwanese have fundamentally changed their mentality and perspectives about KMT and China.  Taiwan society is undertaking a successful transformation from “Chinese-Centered Society” to “Taiwanese-Centered Society".   【Taiwanism】 is now a MAINSTREAM opinion impacted on every level of our political, economical, and social life. 

'

To say the least, someone in the US government is sleeping behind wheels or slow in catching up with the trend or the fast-pace changes in Taiwan political arena.    To say fairly, the ongoing transformation in Taiwan Society is so phenomenal that even KMT is still at its disbelief.  In addition, Taiwan media provided little exposure/discussion on these recent social/political changes since most TVs and newspapers are still controlled by KMT, which is notorious in fabricating stories and suppressing the DDP’s views.    To say accurately, Mr. Christensen dropped the ball completely when calling upon the people of Taiwan without even realizing Taiwan’s MAINSTREAM view of overwhelming support (78%) for the UN membership referendum in the name of Taiwan. 

Mr. Christensen, you are not just against President Chen only! You are against 23 million people of Taiwan!  That’s bad, very, very, very bad!!

II.   The People of Taiwan were SADDENED by Mr. Christensen’s speech.

The people of Taiwan were SADDENED by Mr. Christensen’s speech because we have realized that there is a gap between what Taiwan anticipates from US and what US might do.  Both counties now have to bear the consequences of any decisions made by the US government, including misjudgment of the people of Taiwan.  Everybody knows in the world that Taiwan has always been a long-time royal friend of the America by accommodating all US needs, contributing what we could and even sacrificing our own interest, i.e., awaiting America’s readiness for Taiwan Republic.  The US government should NEVER take Taiwan for granted. 

We don’t understand why Taiwan has been ISOLATED by the US-led international community whereas Taiwan has done everything correct as a model democratic nation or “an old friend” of the America.  We don’t understand why Mr. Christensen was so worried about “China’s Red Lines” when China is a Communist Dictatorship and “a good friend” with America’s enemies (Iraq, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, etc), all of whom USA want them to be ISOLATED.  We don’t understand why the people of Taiwan are now in survival mode and crying out loud for international assistance to stop Chinese Coercion of Taiwan while the US government was the first one to slam Taiwan, “an old friend” of the America. 

However, we do understand one thing that is if the US government dare not to stand up against the increasingly out of control Communist China, the United States of America will no longer be perceived as moral, fair, legitimate authority by the international community.  It is a cup of tea for the US government to say "NO" to a small country like Taiwan, but it takes God's given power and human courage even for the US government to say "NO, NO, NO" to  the evil Communist China.  Only when USA can say "NO" to China, USA will once again earn/win herself a well respected super power status for the next 50-100 years.  To do otherwise, USA will continue to bear detrimental consequences from its misjudgment and the out of date "One-China Policy".   

III.  The people of Taiwan were RESENTED by Mr. Christensen's speech.

The people of Taiwan were RESENTED by Mr. Christensen's speech because it is obvious that Mr. Christensen could only care about American interest and American interest only.  His reasons to discredit the UN membership referendum can be characterized in 5 words--"America Interest" and "China's Red Lines".  Hello, where is Taiwan interest?!   Further, Mr. Christensen's argument appears to be a copycat of the KMT's point of view.  Mr. Christensen may not research raw data/information himself, but he must allocate sufficient resources (i.e., money and time for current information and first rated analysts) for this unique and delicate Taiwan issue.  It is unprofessional for Mr. Christensen to draw his conclusion from the stale data/information (i.e., “powerful, consistent support for the status quo”) and the single sided analysis without any input from Taiwan high officials.

In using Christensen's sentence structure, we could say: "Stale 'One-China Policy' is made no better for being consistent in the name of American Interest."  With 30 year practice of "One-China Policy", the US government has assisted China in isolating Taiwan.  The situation is getting worse as China has more leverage.  Isolated Taiwan is not a myth, but a truth that the people of Taiwan have to live with every day.  Political segregation of Taiwan is not a myth, but a humiliation to the entire people of Taiwan.  Non-acceptance of democratic Taiwan's UN membership is the worst case against the UN universal membership policy.  For the US government allowed democratic Taiwan to be suffocated by the Communist China, it is simply WRONG!!!

Thank God, when Taiwan people are given opportunities to compete equally in free market, we can be so competitive and so successful in the world economy.  It is the people of Taiwans' core competency, creativity and hard work earned Taiwan the 18th largest economic nation in the world.  Had Taiwan not been able to win contracts all over the world, produce quality products at effective cost and market products at reasonable price, Taiwan would have been left out in the furious competition.  Would Taiwan also be economically isolated in addition to the political segregation?!  Can Taiwan’s commercial integration into the world economy replace Taiwan’s political isolation from the international community?  Why is a Taiwanese not able to enjoy full service from a well respected embassy instead of minimum service from a representative office from foreign countries?  These are tough and serious questions that the people of Taiwan demand an answer.

VI. The people of Taiwan cherish hopes and forward-looking vision for Taiwan-US relationship.

Reconciliation of Taiwan and US differences begins with acknowledgment and understanding of each other’s positions.  The bottom line is:

1.      Taiwan will complete the process of UN membership referendum and continue to vigorously pursue Taiwan Independence.  

2.      The US government clearly stated that ROC is NOT a state and that Taiwan is NOT part of China.

We are confident that the Taiwan-US relationship will continue to be strong for the following reasons:

1)      The international community cannot afford to lose Taiwan to the Communist China.  To do contrary will send a dangerous message to the world you can get what you want as long as you are evil enough like China.

2)      Taiwan and USA are bonded by democratic ideology, shared values and common interests of Asia security and world peace.

3)       The US government should immediately revisit its policies of limiting direct communication with high level officials on both sides.  Direct and frequent dialogues between the people-elected Presidents of both Taiwan and USA should be normalized.

4)      While USA was busy with China, USA has long lost its focus and perspectives in Asia and Middle East.  The US government will soon arrive at their own conclusion—the more US government deals with China, the more troubles there are that can tie their hands. 

·        Why is China a friend of each and every one of the American’s enemies, i.e., Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Cuba, a new list from Africa and Central America?  

·        Why 911 happened? – US trade deficit with China. 

·        Why is Iraq War still going on?—China’s sale of weapons. 

·        Who is behind Iran’s nuclear project? – China’s veto.

·        Who is financing North Korea’s military and nuclear programs?—China is.

·        What is China doing in oil-rich Africa and Central America? — China’s “new friends” or US "new enemies".

5)   Wake up, America!!!  Who is ultimately funding terrorists at governmental level with the money they made from the Americans?  CHINA!!!

Is China just a BAD LUCK for USA?!!!   MORE THAN THAT!BAD LUCK for USA???!!!  More than that!
