Dear
Mr. George W. Bush, In Taiwan, the people who are
kowtowing toward the Beijing government can be divided into three groups; businessmen,
elected officials and media people, because they all have their
own calculation about the possible economic benefits to be derived from
China. On the other hand, some of Taiwan’s media is trying
to force the DPP government to capitulate and accept Beijing’s “one
country, two systems”. In mainland China’s activities
inside that reflected the fact that within the military, the opposition
between those who advocate war with Taiwan and those who advocate a
peaceful solution to the Taiwan problems will be a large degree be decided
by Beijing’s political policies. And sometimes in order to adhere to a political achievement that
economic compensation is unavoidable. In 1999, Beijing decided that the
armed forces would not be allowed to engage in commercial activity. This
was a serious blow to the financial resources of the armed forces, and
complaints could be heard though out the military hierarchy. That’s why Zhu Rongji decided to
give the nation’s civil servants a 30 percent salary increase. We thought that was not enough for
30 percent, in which many privileges of armed forces would become to be anti-Zhu’s
factors. Beijing intends to strengthen its ability to attack Taiwan; however, depends primarily on military purchases from abroad. In 2001 the PLA plans to spend US$ 1.68 billion on the import of Russian Su fighter plane alone, that Beijing is indeed strengthening the capability of its armed forces to wage war. Jiang repeated emphasis on
“absolute leadership of the party over the military.” It would express
the real meaning on what? We reviewed the six assurances that was promising from the United States. (1) The U.S. has not agreed to set
a date for ending arms sales to Taiwan. Of course; whole Taiwanese people
welcome any development that helps move China toward democratic reform any
improvement of the welfare of its people. We
voiced confidence that such values as freedom and human rights emphasized
by Taiwan will continue to win it support from the western powers. When on the time of Chinese vice
premier Qian Qichen, who is visiting Washington on March 22, 2001 has
lobbied against U.S. sales of advanced arms to Taiwan. We warmed that the
procurement of advanced AEGIS destroyers by Taiwan could heighten the risk
of military conflict across the Strait. But, what’s really fear was
connected by Taiwan’s democracy that would effect mainland Chinese over
balance of military force. Substantially, the Taiwan problems
is only one factor. Taiwan is a key to promote mainland China’s
democratic reform. If Taiwan could maintain the balance of military force
over China’s threat. In this game, the role of the
military for both sides may be a deciding factor over Beijing’s beefing
up of national defense in recent years. “Time”
would change the interaction between the Chinese communist party and its
military.
Taipei,
March 30, 2001 – (1) China accused the Dalai Lama of colluding with separatists in rival Taiwan on the eve of a trip to the island by Tibet’s exiled spiritual leader even as he tried to play down the visit’s political significance. The Dalai Lama has tried to play down the political
significance of his visit, apparently to avoid antagonizing Beijing, which
rules Tibet and claims sovereignty over Taiwan. (2)“My main goal is to
meet the Buddhist community there and explain about Tibetan Buddhism,”
the Nobel Peace Prize laureate told reporters on Wednesday in the northern
Indian town of Dharamshala, the seat of his government-in-exile. (3)“If they know the
reality and look at my activities from a wider perspective then I don't
see any reason for them to be concerned,” he said, referring to the
Chinese authorities. (4)But for ordinary Taiwanese, the
visit of Tibetan Buddhism's top monk is of more religious significance
than political. (5)“We are neither
playing the Taiwan independence nor the Tibetan independence card,” said
Hsu Szu-chien, a China policy adviser to President Chen’s Democratic
Progressive Party. (6)“For ordinary people,
the Dalai Lama's visit has greater religious significance than
political,” Hsu said. The Dalai Lama fled his Himalayan homeland after an
abortive uprising against Chinese rule in 1959 and won the Nobel Peace
Prize three decades later for his peaceful campaign for autonomy, but not
for independence. In our view; If Beijing has any real-confidence, it
would treat Taiwan and Tibet on an equal and open basis, and try to win
the hearts of the people of Taiwan and Tibet. Bully tactics, threats and
troubles making only serves to push Taiwan and Tibet further away from
China. Taiwan’s overall performance
today is an indication that the country is getting closer to modern
civilized nations and that the people of Taiwan’s pursuit of peace,
self-determination and prosperity is in sync with that of the
international community. How could anyone, it this day and
age, ask Taiwan’s 23 million people to place their burgeoning vitality
in the unjustifiable grip of a communist regime? To be allowed to continue,
unencumbered, on their self-chosen path is the pervasive wish of the
people of Taiwan. China is keeping up its attack on
the Dalai Lama’s visit to Taiwan, accusing the exiled Tibetan spiritual
leader of collaborating with pro-independence forces on the island. A commentary by the official
Xinhua news agency April 1, 2001 said the Dalai Lama’s tour was “a
political visit” driven by separatist motives he shares with officials
in Taipei. “The Dalai’s second Taiwan
trip will certainly be a political visit for collaborating with Taiwan
independence forces to separate the motherland,” Xinhua said. Pointing to the planned meetings
between the exiled Tibetan leader and leading members of Taiwan’s
government the agency asked: “how could Dalai’s trip be a pure
‘religious tour’?” At the start of his 10-day visit
to the island, the Dalai Lama called on China to send a representative to
the island to “watch
my movements and investigate whether I’m involved in anti-Chinese
activities” as Beijing claims. Remind of China on December 12,
1996 said it never put pressure on the Walt Disney Co. for backing a film
about the life of Tibet’s exiled god-king, the Dalai Lama. “The Chinese government... has
never put pressure in any way on the Disney Co.,” Foreign Ministry
spokesman Shen Guofang told a news briefing. “We only hope the Disney group
will be able to better cooperate with China in relevant areas,” he added
without elaboration. Disney is eager to expand into
Asia, particularly China, where demand for U.S. products is high. It
remained to be seen if Disney’s involvement in “Kundun” would hurt
its ambitious business expansion plans in China. The Dalai Lama fled his Himalayan
homeland in 1959 after a failed uprising against Communist rule and won the Nobel
Peace Prize 30 years later for his non-violent campaign for autonomy for
Tibet in which the exiled experience was a reality of Dalai Lama’s
nightmare. The reports said for us to remind Beijing’s warning
of its wills. Contrary to western countries, it gave Beijing too many
promises with “business deals”, not for justice. On March 22, 2001, “Deployment
of NMD will not be conductive to world peace, development and stability,
and it will also undermine the global strategic balance and stability”
that visiting Chinese vice premier Qian Qichen warned the US. On the other hand; Beijing’s
greater China nationalism may destroy any chances for US’ will and
Taiwan’s future? However; we need your help.
Yours Sincerely,
