Taiwan international diplomacy issue/Carlos Pueblo

Current Chinese regime insists that Taiwan is wayward and renegade province;

therefore, Taiwan must purchase international diplomatic relation with certain

small developing nations for recognition. Recently, there is one such nation in

Africa switches side to China and cut off relationship with Taiwan, according the

Chinese love face philosophy severely affecting Taiwan’s national security. There are

18 of such nations still maintain diplomatic relationship with Taiwan with total

population less than 3 million, smaller than the largest city of New Taipei across

a river from the capital city of Taipei north of CCK Airport of Tao-yuan City.

I think that is a good policy of the U.S. State department to see the generosity of

Taiwan and China to compete with each other for helping with those poor developing

nations for economic and financial assistance, otherwise, they all expect that the U.S.

should do it all. I have seen many advanced nations such as the Western European

nations and Japan playing such role now.

As for the sake of Taiwan national security, I never think that all the diplomatic relation

can prevent Taiwan from China’s invasion. This is the fact of life as a Taiwanese always

under the Chinese threat in their life; however, we must be prepared like Switzerland

in the central Europe to make Hitler carefully consider the cost to invade during WWII.

I believe that the current Taiwan National government can do a better job than the

previous Chinese Nationalist regime. At least with the money saved to develop our own

weaponry or purchase some F-35 jet fighters from the U.S. etc. to strengthen our national

defense.

Remember always to avoid the Chinese Nationalist to regain ruling power in Taiwan and

manage our national future ourselves.
