To: ALL筆者寫 E-mail 到 Washington Post Forum 發佈台灣立場給相關關係亞太地區和平的同好，其內容略述：聯合國的言論、信仰、需求、免於害怕的自由，是世界皆知的四大自由信念，為立國基本精神，為人類生存的最低要求。但是聯合國受強國左右，以追求利益，而行政治角力，逐漸喪失聯合國對弱國的扶持，以中、美、英、法、蘇五國常任理事國，就常因為利害衝突而違背聯合國的章程。中華民國成立於 1912 年，本為聯合國的常任理事國，其對聯合國的貢獻，早 有所聞，然中共強大之後，在台灣的中華民國成為國際孤兒，但能自立自強，造就亞洲的政經奇蹟。可是國際卻受逼於中共違反聯合國憲章的壓力下，忽視台灣的成功經驗，導至台灣的國際援助計劃，遭受不合理的阻撓。
Four Freedom On United Nations
1940--- U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt defines the American gold of the“four freedoms” Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Belief, Freedom from Want, and Freedom from Fear. The four Freedoms are the basic Human Rights in every countries, that whole members of United Nations was asked for achieving this lowest need.
On the other hand; Human Rights is superior to country's power in which humanitarianism is U.N.'s first choice. But the political aspects of humanitarian intervention remain complex in the crisis there was no serious talk of a foreign intervention force.
The only reason is that some countries' nuclear missile system and big business deal threat most western democratic country.
On August 30, 2000; a representative of the Dalai Lame read a statement on his behalf to the Millennium World Peace Summit. Since Mainland China rejects his call for an autonomous Tibet, the Nobel Peace laureate was not invited to the U.N. portion of the conference for fear of offending China – a veto-wielding member of the U.N. Security Council.
Since 1912, the Republic of China has been an independent sovereign state, and that's an indisputable fact, that ROC in Taiwan is a mature country in Asia-Pacific region that the model of democratic system created its political and economic miracles.
We respect Human Rights and urged to help weak or poor countries because of our people's humanitarian minds. We wondered about the justice spirits was down on the powers' conflict over U.N. affairs, but as to a member of global village, please let Taiwan join United Nations that Taiwan experience of political and economic miracles would help other countries for its crisis urgently.

Very thanks for interview the website I gave it to you. Lived in democratic Taiwan everyone can say the truth of people's will. We won't challenge China leaders but express our situation in forum for justice.
How to keep Taiwan stability over Beijing's threat is whole Taiwanese people's wish. We learned from the history that communist China cannot give up its military power and hegemonic system to follow world market game.
China holds everything that relating about human rights and step by step release it from outside of asking for. It would focus on the value of political and business need that is the old game for sugar and bread exchange.
In Taiwan, only military force can maintain the power to negotiate with communist China, nowhere is a real harbor for Taiwanese people. As my personal thought more of 30% people could die for protecting democratic island.

Taiwan Envoy to Bush Inauguration Upbeat on Future U.S. Policy
Jan 23, 2001 -- (BBC Monitoring) Text of report in English by Taiwanese Central News Agency web site.
Taipei, 22 January: Legislative Yuan President Wang Jin-pyng returned to Taipei from the United States Monday after attending the inauguration of U.S. President George W. Bush as Republic of China President Chen Shui-bian's special envoy.
Wang told reporters that he was deeply impressed by the vitality, hope, zeal and patriotism demonstrated in the 20 January presidential inauguration.
During his stay in Washington, Wang said that he held talks with Senate Republican leader Trent Lott and Democratic leader Thomas Daschle, as well as American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) Chairman Richard Bush and State Department officials.
He also attended a breakfast meeting to exchange views with 10 American China experts, including former U.S. Ambassador to Beijing James Lilly, on political and economic issues in Taiwan as well as cross-Taiwan Strait relations.
Wang and other members of his mission were also invited to a candlelight dinner party on 18 January, at which the new president and other leaders of the new government were in attendance.
The push and shove between Taiwan and China is one of the main items on the agenda of the Bush Administration. More power to them. We invite your participation on this most important subject.

China has not had a modern and highly skilled intelligence organization focused on Russia. This has caused them some difficulty in their keeping up with Russia in the past year. They feel they have a need to bringing this agency up to date.
It is interesting that they have such an active cell in the U.S. and they do not even have a cell in Russia that can speak Russian or that know the signals for intelligence communication in Russia.
Further, what is there so important to them in relation to gathering intelligence in Russia?

Methylene chloride, also known as carrene, is an organic chemical used as a distillate in paints and other materials, said an official at the ministry of foreign trade and economic cooperation (MOFTEC) which is responsible for the charges. （End of excerpt ...）

Pentagon Unsure of Impact of a Taiwan Conflict
WASHINGTON, Dec 20, 2000 -- (Agence France Presse) The Pentagon says in a new report that it is unsure exactly how a major military conflict between arch-rivals China and Taiwan would turn out.
In a report to Congress made available on Tuesday, the Department of Defense says three significant gaps exist which could be very useful in projecting the scope of a war over the nationalist island.
“We cannot expect to predict confidently the outcome of a military conflict,”said the report, which considers the impact of the Taiwan Relations Act of 1979, under which the U.S. helps Taiwan defend itself.

中共擔心內亂，想控制一切群眾活動，故加強其軍隊的操控與人道的伸張，但是世界各國急於與中共做生意，使得人權議題被模糊化，這是值得檢討的課題。
Thank your concern about Taiwan situation after new government was working in both-sides' problems.
I don't believe that Beijing would give up its controlled military and political condition, even as it wants to handle free market in international routine.
If United States wants to keep its superpower at Asia-pacific region, it needs support by effective military power for balance on time over critical reaction at conflicts.
Every country in Asia are worry about that if powerful China was out of control, and so what is U.S. could do its help urgently?
Many Taiwanese people want survival on Beijing's threat but world's businessmen only to think about how to earn money over deal with China.
Without super-power country as U.S.' support that Taiwan cannot maintain its democracy, that is the reasons for many pro-unification parties do a hurry to turn to Beijing.
However, Taiwan needs express its voice to the world and supported by free countries. Please interview webside http://taiwantt.org.tw/

CHINA, ITS REGION AND TAIWAN
Thanks for your participation. We need all the input we can get on the China region and especially with Taiwan.
It appears to me that the Far East has become a“mixed-bag”especially for the U.S. presence. While China wants to be a part of the WTO, it does not wish for this to open additional opportunity for U.S. military presence in the region.
The Pacific Region economic status seems most unstable and I believe that the U.S. is not aggressive about investing big bucks in the area at this time.
Additionally, I feel that the U.S. is taking a second look at some of the contacts that Taiwan is having with mainland China. Although I feel that this is good and that the U.S. is in favor of the contacts, still, where is this leading and what affect will it have on the U.S. economic and military strength in the region?
I would like to have an extended dialogue on this and other problems in the Far East. I hope you and your friends will make this forum a regular place to express your views, frustrations and hopes for the area future.

TAIWAN STILL IMPORTANT TO THE U.S. AGENDA THE FAR EAST
It appears to me that China considers all of the Far East Pacific their back yard to be developed, protected and consumed.
China is continuing to make moves that would assure them of supremacy in the Far East. This includes Economics with the WTO muscle and military by selling or providing state of the art military equipment and supplies to nations willing to accept Chinese support and or sales.
Chinese diplomacy is seeking to knife into any political situation where China feels it has a chance of becoming big brother. The North and South Korea equation is a typical.
TAIWAN
The question of the U.S. will and determination in regards to Taiwan has been asked in diplomatic circles around the globe. I would venture to say that the Diplomats of the world have placed more bets on this one issue than any other.
As we are now changing the guard at the White House U.S. foreign relations is under scrutiny and evaluation. Taiwan is no exception.
The latest sign of our intent has surfaced over a new move by China to build a shield opposite Taiwan.
On the surface this should not be so disturbing except for the fact that such a shield would provide opportunity for China to cover for other military state of the art presence opposite Taiwan. The U.S. State Department has now responded with a bit NO to China on such an effort.
I feel it is based on at least two foundations. China along with Russia has opposed with vigor the plan of the U.S. to build such a protective shield. Second, such a shield would change the balance of power between mainland China and Taiwan. The U.S. sees this move as demanding that we quip Taiwan with additional fortifications to counter the China buildup. This is what the U.S. does not wish to do but evidently the gravity of the situation compels the U.S. not to allow mainland China to get an edge in case hostilities break out with Taiwan.
CHINA MOVES
I expect China to play its cat and mouse game testing both Taiwan and the U.S. State Department through the Bush Administration.
Any weakness on the U.S. part will allow mainland China to open the crack even larger at the expense of Taiwan freedom and our access to that part of the Far East.

China is beginning to reach out in a stronger fashion to its neighbors around the Pacific area.
China is currently sending its first boat load of passengers to Taiwan as a goodwill gesture.
China is having quiet a large hand in the reunification efforts of North and South Korea.
China is demanding that the U.S. stay out of its efforts to bring Taiwan under the Two China political umbrella.
China is not bothered about the U.S. defense of Taiwan because it feels that a first strike would bring Taiwan to its knees if China felt a first strike necessary.
However, I do not feel that such a strike would be necessary. There is a continual thawing of the old relations between the two that has endured for the past fifty years.
China is the only power in the Far East capable of bringing the different islands and countries under one political umbrella.
