Dear Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton,
Japan's press is reporting almost daily on the pressure Beijing
is bringing to bear on Tokyo to include a strident. "Three
no's policy on Taiwan in a joint statement to be issued by their
leaders. Taiwan hoped to use the recent contact as another starting
point to develop new relations with Beijing, but Beijing was
still hostile to Taiwan. Beijing's efforts to pressure Taiwan
internationally, saying Taiwan had had to sever official ties
with Tonga.
Taiwan announced yesterday (Oct. 1 1998) its decision to cut
ties with Tonga from November 2 after the south pacific island
kingdom officially switched recognition to Beijing. Taiwan is
left with just 26 diplomatic allies, mostly poor African and
Latin American nations.
At the same time; Chinese border police prevented Peng Ming,
the outspoken founder of the reform group China development
union, from crossing the border into Hong Kong on his way to
the United States.
It is said the officials took Peng into a room and kept him
waiting for four hours, then informed him there were problems
with his passport and they could not accept it.
In October, China signed the international convenant
on political and civil rights, a key UN protocol guaranteeing
the rights of assembly free speech and freedom from arbitrary
arrest.
Contrary to Beijing; Taiwan want to help Beijing
government to do well in democratic procedure. Taiwan is mainland
China's future.
There have a letter from United States' Taiwan people respect
not only human rights but also animal rights. The letter is'
