Remove Onerous Restrictions On Activities Of Taiwan Officials In The United States.

If Hong Kong's Martin Lee, Tibet's Dalai Lama, Palestine's Yasser Arafat, and Sinn Fein's Gerry Adams can meet with the President in the White House, then surely Taiwan's democratically elected president should be allowed to do more than stay in his hotel while visiting the United States.

Such steps will require a change in thinking in Washington. Fortunately, consideration of PNTR in Congress offers the best opportunity in a long time to take steps to improve U.S.-Taiwan relations.
