US Congress to hear Taiwan resolution

Sunday, 18 October 2009 07:12 Taipei Times

A few weeks before US President Barack Obama embarks on a trip to China, Democratic Congressman Robert Andrews has introduced a resolution on Capitol Hill “expressing the sense of Congress regarding the freedom, security and stability of Taiwan.”

It is aimed at pressuring Obama to stand up for Taiwan when the issue is raised — as it surely will be — at his meetings with President Hu Jintao (胡錦濤) in Beijing.

President unfit to lead KMT: Tsai

Sunday, 18 October 2009 07:07 Taipei Times

If President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九), who yesterday took over as chairman of the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT), cares only about his personal integrity but is unable to control his party, then he is unfit to lead the KMT, Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Chairperson Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) said in a TV interview yesterday.

Tsai urged voters to be fully cognizant of the failings of the KMT when they cast their votes for the year-end election in December.

A new resolution calling for continued operations by the US military to support freedom of navigation in the Taiwan Strait has been introduced in the US House of Representatives. It also supports freedom of navigation rights in the South China Sea, the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea.

Sponsored by US Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, chairwoman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and supported by 18 Republicans and nine Democrats, it calls for a “peaceful and collaborative resolution of maritime territorial disputes in the South China Sea and its environs and other maritime areas adjacent to the East Asian mainland.”
