Dear Mr. Vice President Al Gore,

Letters again only for my country( ROC in Taiwan). I am very sorry to interrupt your regular procedure.

Mainland China has threatened to take Taiwan by force should the island declare independence. Should a military confrontation occur between the two sides of the Taiwan strait?

It would be a disaster for all. For the ROC, the four decades of hard work that have created the Taiwan miracle would go down the drain. It is a fact that the people in Taiwan are enjoying a life of overall material abundance never experienced before in Chinese history. The per capital income now, at U.S.$ 10,900. Is more than 200 times of the figure 40 years ago. It reckless and foolish to gamble this away.

Politically speaking, the people in Taiwan are enjoying more freedom than any time in Chinese history, and also than most nations in the world. They should cherish what they have and defend this precious possession.

Remember to the history of whole World War II, Japan left China in economic chaos. The wide spread poverty which the war caused gave the Communists China the opportunity to gain grassroots support and build up power, and to finally take over the entire mainland.

Chiang took his army to Taiwan. Chiang turned a little-know island into a dynamic society with one of Asia's highest living standards and one of the world's fastest growing economics.

Diplomatically, the ROC faced serious isolation as foreign governments and international organizations successively switched recognition from Taipei to Beijing. As most world agree, the ROC'S success in winning wider international recognition in recent years has been due mainly to the remarkable progress on political reform under the leadership of President Lee Teng-hui.

Lee himself is proud of his success in carrying out the political reforms, especially considering as he has recently often pointed out to visiting foreign dignitaries, that they were all achieved without sacrificing social stability and economic growth.

Lee has correctly insisted that his government never agree to establish official links with the mainland unless Beijing renounces its threat of using force against Taiwan and stops intervening with this island's efforts to expand foreign relations.

The mainland's attempt to stifle Taiwan internationally is a hindrance to swift and progress in relations between the two sides of the Taiwan strait. Unless Beijing stops trying to push Taiwan into a corner, it will be difficult to build a warm, brotherly relationship across the Taiwan strait. In particular; the mainland China should abandon its domineering attitude toward Taiwan, which is the major obstacle to reunification.

In a speech given to the United Nations General Assembly on the date of October 31, 1993. Exiled Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide voiced his full support for the ROC's bid to reenter the world body. "Thanking the people and national governments which have continuously supported him in his quest to regain power and reestablish democracy in Haite." " I can't overlook all the other friends who are so-dear to our hearts, those in the Caribbean, in America, in Europe and Asia who have give us such a warm-hearted welcome. We are thanking particularly of the Republic of China, Taiwan, which it is our hope, will regain its place in the great family of the United State." Aristide said that.

As U.S. President Bill Clinton correctly pointed out, Jean-Bertrand Aristide was democratically elected to office by the strongest majority of any political leader in the western hemisphere. However, Aristide was forced to flee Haiti after the Haitian military overthrew him in an illegal coup d'etat in 1991. Since then, Aristide has depended on the support of the international community to back his efforts to regain official and reestablish democracy in his country.

Despite Mainland China is a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council, which unfortunately gives in the power to veto resolutions it does not agree with, the sanctions and resolutions passed by the United Nations Security Council have been of particular help to Aristide in this process. Aristide took a political risk by offering his support for the ROC.

It is arriving at a conclusion that political encouragement and moral justice on powerful countries is heartily need.
