Friday, 13 November 2009 07:37 Taipei Times

Former vice president Annette Lu (呂秀蓮) yesterday welcomed the Control Yuan's report on the attack on her and then-president Chen Shui-bian (陳水扁) on the eve of the presidential election on March 19, 2004, but urged the government watchdog to produce more concrete evidence before it dismisses the investigation conducted by the Tainan Public Prosecutor's Office.

Taipei needs to expand its trade targets: US study

Thursday, 12 November 2009 06:54 Taipei Times

A new US study on Taiwan’s economy cautions that gains from current trade and investment talks with China may be limited and that Taipei needs to concentrate on internal economic restructuring and the cultivation “of new and dynamic foreign relationships beyond the straits.”

Written by Derek Scissors, a research fellow in Asia Economic Policy at the Heritage Foundation, the study says Taiwan should reform corporate taxation and the “sheltered” domestic service sector.

Hsu Kui-piao (許貴標), 82, recently donated a papier-mache scrapbook that seemed like an ordinary item at first glance. However, Hsu’s gift embodied the persecution and sacrifice suffered by Taiwanese during the White Terror era and the remarkable friendship among condemned political prisoners.

“This is the 55th year since I was released from prison. I have the good fortune to share my story here, but my heart is stirred up with strong emotions,” Hsu said as he presented the book to the Preparatory Office of the National Human Rights Museum on Tuesday last week.
