Reject Beijing's Green Dam-Youth Escort

Hewlett-Packard's Profit Growth and Freedom of Speech

Sunday, 05 July 2009 12:17 Leo Wang Letters For Taiwan - Reject Beijing's Green Dam-Youth Escort

Dear Sir or Madam:
 
I have always had great respect for your venerable company, a legend of Silicon Valley, that was founded in 1939.  Aside from HP's melange of entrepreneurial drive and high social conscience, I am particularly impressed with co-founder, David Packard.  According to Jim Collins, the author of Built to Last, Mr. Packard was on the record for stating that "a company has a greater responsibility than making money for its stockholders."  In 1949, Mr. Packard, the then 37-year-old had the moral courage to openly state his view point to his elders in the CEO club.

The government is to hold a series of events on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York next month while calling on the global body to stop the misinterpretation of Resolution 2758 and allow Taiwan’s meaningful participation in its system, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said yesterday.

Taiwan is stepping up its efforts to promote the nation’s bid to join the UN leading up to the 78th session of the General Assembly on Tuesday next week and the General Debate from Sept. 19 to Sept. 26.

Due to a misinterpretation of UN Resolution 2758 Taiwan has been inappropriately excluded from the UN, which should be rectified, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Tien Chung-kwang (田中光) said yesterday.
