Dear Mr. President Bill Clinton,

It is an honor for me to write you the letter.

Taiwan's democratization falls perfectly line with traditional American ideals, making the ROC's cause over-whelmingly popular in both houses of the U.S. congress in the mainstream, American press and among ordinary American people.

This was amply demonstrated both by congressional pressure on the Clinton administration to permit President Lee Teng-hui's June 1995 private U.S. visit. And it was illustrated even more graphically in late 1995 and early 1996, when Beijing conducted a series of threatening military exercises and test-fired guided missiles, one after another, just off the coast of Taiwan as residents of the island prepared to take part on the first direct election for a head of state in 5,000 years of Chinese history.

New Delhi, May 3---

India's Defense Minister George Fernandes said Sunday(May 3, 1998) the country faced a bigger threat from Communist China than from Pakistan and New Delhi would make nuclear weapons if it ran out of options.

"China is potential threat number one" "The potential threat from China is greater than that from Pakistan and any person who is concerned about India's security must agree with that fact." it quoted Fernandes as saying.

India exploded a nuclear device in 1972. It fought a brief but bitter border war with mainland China in 1962 which led to a 14-year diplomatic freeze. India has also fought three wars with Pakistan since 1947.

"China has its nuclear weapons stockpiled in Tibet right along India's borders" Fernandes also said Communist Chinese military airfields in Tibet had been extended in the last six months. He said there was "a lot of naval activity" off the coast of Myanmar(Burma) including the construction of harbors on islands owned by Myanmar where mainland Chinese ships could be berthed.

Then at the same time; 20,000 Christians from 64 nations gather at gymnasium of the Linkou college of Physical Education of Taiwan for 1998 international Christional Christians blending conference, fifteen languages were used in the testimonies and hymns.(May 13, 1998)

"I love the Lord and this is the good opportunity for me to meet other Christian brothers and sisters who came from a completely different culture than mine." Melibea Gomez from Texas said with a joyful smile.

 

Sincerely Yours, 
Yang Hsu-Tung.
President of
