Dear Mr. Vice President Al Gore,

Please support Taiwan for its survival right.

India Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee announced on Monday (May 10, 1998) that India had conducted three underground nuclear tests in the western state of Rajasthan. Experts said the blasts could trigger similar tests by neighbor and arch-rival Pakistan as well as mainland China.

The strong country must have nuclear weapon if you have the ability to create nuclear weapon. You will be respected for your neighbors.

The nuclear strong countries are:

A. United States 3264 number of warheads.

B. Russia 2272 number of warheads.

C. Mainland China 275 number of warheads.

D. France 340 number of warheads.

E. Britain 260 number of warheads.

Alleged strong countries are:

A. Israel: up to 100 refuses to comment.

B. North Korea: nuclear weapons program suspended.

C. India: conducts three nuclear weapons tests.

D. South Africa: has dismantled all nuclear weapons.

E. Pakistan: says it could produce nuclear weapons.

Israel and South Africa are preparing the nuclear weapons and the India, Pakistan would use nuclear weapon but no time to preparation.

The only way for security of neighbors is to follow suit with nuclear tests of their own. Hence; in our world, the power speaking, the most power came from "nuclear weapon".

Taiwan follow a model of democratic game from "united States' style" have been losing its political power by lacking nuclear weapon's competition.

Experts say the ROC could produce a nuclear bomb in a year or two if it resumed a development drill halted in the 1980s under intense U.S. pressure.

Yet the ROC remains deeply wary of Beijing's unrelenting military modernization---a primary goal of which is to develop a capacity to mount a decisive invasion of the island. Our foreign ministry said the Republic of China, as a signatory to international anti-nuclear proliferation agreements, was opposed to any country developing nuclear arms.

"Based on the principles of this agreement, we oppose any countries, especially without nuclear weapons, developing nuclear arms." Ministry spokesman Roy Wu said by telephone. "We believe nuclear power should be used for peaceful means that can benefit the public." Wu said.
