Three-party Approach to Taiwan Strait
Taiwan Strait is one of the hottest danger spots in the world. There are over 600 missiles lined up against Taiwan on the opposite shores in China and the number is on the increase day by day. By so lined up, China aims to force the people of Taiwan into submission. On the eve of the second anniversary of China’s “Anti-Secession” Law, which forcefully claims that “There is only One China, and Taiwan is a part of It”, a vast majority of Taiwanese disapprove of China’s bid to change the status quo by passing its “Anti-Secession” Law two years ago. Majority of Taiwanese believe that they should be the only one to have a say in the matter regarding to the future of the Island nation. A recent survey shows that more than 90% of respondants dis-agree with China’s attempts to change the cross-strait status with the law.
One unfortunate factor in the Taiwan Strait trouble is the United States’s stance which forbid Taiwan to have any open voicing on the status quo in regard to Taiwan itself. In fact, the US put a mum on the duely elected President of Taiwan, as many insidents over the recent years past show. Many in Taiwan wonder the fairness of US policy .
President Chen Sui-Bien called for “three-party approach to Tawan Strait” and not the “bi-party” way which have denied Taiwan to have any say in regard to its own status quo. It has been most stupid for the US State Department to continue following its out-dated policy and being get played into China’s imperial ambition. Yes, the people of Taiwan and their President must have the say in the matter of cross-strait matter, especially on the matter regarding to the fate of the people of Taiwan.
