Dear Mrs. Madeleine Korbel Albright,
Taipei Mayor Chen Shui-bian, who was forced out of office by
the ruling KMT in weekend polls, is still seen as a front-runner
for the 2000 presidential elections. "This is a major setback
for Chen ' but he is still the most popular candidate and politician"
said researcher at National Chengchi University, Chen, who has
strong grass roots supports helped push through a raft of political
reform on the island.
Beijing hope to conduct political negotiations with Taiwan
under the premise of "one China" and put and official
end to the state of hostility between the two side. Taipei has
rejected political negotiations with Beijing, insisting that
talks focus on practical issue such as fishing and the repatriation
of criminals. Even if political negotiation with
each other, Taiwan side must be strictly censored by Taiwan
people.
Taiwan people have the right to decide how, when,
and what's situation, under democratic development in communist
China, in which would promote the peaceful reunification of
mainland.
President Lee Ten-hui yesterday (Dec. 8, 1998) said the "New
Taiwanese" concept is essential to establish a national
consensus on the country's identity that would form the basics
of the government's foreign policy and cross-strait policy.
"Don't promote the Republic of Taiwan or independence for
Taiwan as a matter of fact, the Republic of China (Taiwan) is
an independent sovereign state, what we need here is a consensus"
Lee added. "Had I not spoken out, foreign magazines
might have criticized us as being ready to declare independence"
Lee said.
Under mainland China has threatened to take military action
against the island if Taiwan declares itself independent, Taiwan
people lived with heavy pressure over Beijing's threat that
made Taiwan reveal love and hate's ambivalence.
Beijing officer said "that Beijing is against anyone who
advocated separation in Taiwan in the name of democracy"
In our view; Beijing has no right to interrupt
the free wills of Taiwan people. Democratic country as Taiwan
condition reunification should be decided by everyone of Taiwan
people.
Taiwan need your support.
