Monday, 07 September 2009 09:09 Taipei Times

Residents in Urumqi demanded further action yesterday after the sacking of two top officials in the restive Xinjiang region over syringe attacks that sparked deadly protests.

The Communist Party chief of Xinjiang’s capital Urumqi and the region’s top police official were dismissed on Saturday in the wake of the protests that left five people dead, but residents said the sackings were not enough.

Friday, 04 September 2009 08:26 Taipei Times

Prosecutors yesterday denied reports that former president Chen Shui-bian (陳水扁) recently admitted using the presidential airplane to carry cash to Palau as part of his alleged money laundering.

The Chinese-language Apple Daily reported yesterday that investigators probing the former president’s money-laundering case questioned officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and national security agencies. These officials reportedly received instructions from the former president to prepare a certain amount of money to be converted into US dollars as part of Chen’s “classified diplomatic affairs.”

US Senator Sherrod Brown has written to the WHO objecting to the organization’s referring to Taiwan as a “province of China.”

“I am concerned that the WHO has unwittingly entered into dangerous political waters that are contrary to its mission and detrimental to its goals,” the Ohio democrat said in his letter.

“The WHO is not a political authority within the UN and should not act as such,” Brown added.

The letter was addressed to WHO Director-General Margaret Chan and is in reaction to an internal WHO memo, which recently became public in Taiwan.
