National Value of Taiwan/Carlos Pueblo

National Value of Taiwan/Carlos Pueblo
My Dallas friend, Paul Huang, mentioned the National Value of Taiwan question
to me in regard to the same question posted by talk show host to Taiwan President
Tsai and Taipei City Mayor Ko for their interview. He didn’t show me how both of
their answer, the National Value of Taiwan. As an admirer of these two distinguished
politicians of current day Taiwan and based on what I have learned from them on their
numerous speeches, including her speech at Washington D.C. before 2016 National
Election and his famous human life of four seasons, etc. I have this conclusion that
their National Value of Taiwan or Taipei is the seeking of the survival of Taiwan in the
future as a Nation and the reformation of honest virtue of Taipei extended to the entire
nation. Both of them are well educated scholars in their individual field, financial law and
medicine; however, I believe that they have been influenced by the classical Confucianism
and the current day western civilization, democracy, rule of law, and humanity.

In order to achieve the national survival value, What the great learning teaches, is to
illustrate the virtue; to renovate the people; and to rest in the highest excellence. This is
the opening of the Great Learning, then, from the individual to the nation accordingly.
First of all, extended to the utmost their knowledge by school education, lays in the
distinguish right from wrong; Secondly, wishing to rectify their thoughts by sincere in
their minds; Wishing to regulate their families, be sufficient and financial independent;
then wishing to order their cities and states; eventually to reach the value of the nation,
survival. We do and see that every day in our society, the governments in the position to
help to manage that task.

Democracy, rule of law, and human right are the virtue of Taiwan and the value of Taiwan.
It is very much different from current day Communist China. Chinese value is not acceptable
in Taiwan and both of them have stated very clearly all the time. You can see the difference
of ruling in Taipei for more than three years and Taiwan in two years, the reformation of
administration in the city government and national level to rid of the corruptive habit of the

old Chinese Mandarin bureaucracy.
