Letter to Time on “Reshooting History in a New China.”
Dear Mr. Abdoolcarim:
Thank you for the informing and interesting article on the October 19th Asia edition of Time magazine, “Reshooting History in a New China.” However, I write to voice, on the behalf of Tati Foundation, that the Chinese leadership’s thinking has not changed at all since the founding of this totalitarian and Communist regime. As you have mentioned, injustices and corruption are rampant in China today. For an average Chinese citizen, life remains tough. Just like the widespread turmoil and ceaseless revolution in first half of CCP’s sixty years. Just like the pre-revolutionary KMT regime, riddled with corruption and brutality. In short, just like the same old days.

On US Support for Chen Shui-Bian’s Rights from Jerome Cohen’s Open Letter
Dear President Obama:
Despite of the impressive achievements in democratization being made by Taiwan over the past two decades, many Taiwanese, and particularly those of us associated with Tati Cultural & Educational foundation, are troubled by the egregiously illegal detainment of our former president Chen Shui-Bian. Therefore, we are heartened by Professor Jerome Cohen’s June 11th letter, published on South China Morning Post, calling for “Taiwan’s law professors, legal scholars, social scientists and others with unique qualifications to promote public understanding…” to speak up against KMT’s, spear-headed by Ma Ying-Jeou, flagrantly zealous corruption charges against former president Chen and his family while ignoring many cases of similar (and perhaps even more egregious) misconduct by KMT officials and judge’s arbitrary ruling against the former president and his friends and family (“Professor Jerome A. Cohen calls for Taiwan’s legal scholars to speak out on law reforms” by Jerome A. Cohen; US-Asia Law Institute).

Presenting Dr. Yang’s Poem, “Authoritarian Capitalists – Demons Everywhere”
Dear President Obama:
In response to the flagrantly pro-China aptitude of many US multi-nationals during the past few years, I would like to voice out our concern, in the form of a poem scripted by Taiwan Tati Foundation's chairman, Dr. Yang Hsu-Tung. Dr. Yang had been a long time advocate of democracy, human rights, and freedom of speech. His most important recent endeavor is advocating for Taiwan's sovereignty and democratization. In addition, he also had been actively speaking out against the quasi-KMT organization, National Communication Corporation's (NCC) unconstitutional and illegal manipulation of Taiwan's media industry and abusing our country's freedom of speech.
