Dozens of protesters yesterday marched in front of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, calling for an end to China’s opposition to Taiwan’s entry into the UN.

Marking Taiwan UN Day, an annual occasion started in 2007, participants in the protest said they wanted to see the Taiwanese public unite on the issue to put an end to Taiwan’s “international orphanage.”

Sovereignty spat spills to film festival

Monday, 25 October 2010 08:22 Taipei Times

A-list movie stars about to make a grand entrance at the prestigious Tokyo International Film Festival became the latest victims of turbulent cross-strait relations on Saturday after both the Taiwanese and Chinese delegations missed the star--studded ceremony amid a spat over names.

Despite spending days preparing for the 11-day event, Taiwanese actors and actresses failed to reach the eco-friendly “green carpet” after a Chinese delegation insisted that the Taiwanese group add the word “China” to their country’s name.

Stressing the geostrategic importance of Taiwan to the region, Columbia University political science professor Andrew Nathan, an expert on Chinese politics, said yesterday in Taipei that he was “rather pessimistic” about China’s growing sway over Taiwan through closer cross-strait economic integration.

As economic ties between Taiwan and China grow, it makes Taiwan “more vulnerable to Chinese influence,” Nathan said in Mandarin at the launch of the Chinese-language edition of his book China’s Search for Security.
