The US needs a ‘one Taiwan’ policy

In this complicated and often confusing post-Cold War era, the US and other nations need to up their international game and establish a “one Taiwan” policy. This is long overdue.

Cold War memories help build ties

On June 22, Lithuania became the first country in the EU to announce that it would donate COVID-19 vaccines to Taiwan.

On July 16, Slovakia announced it would donate 10,000 vaccine doses to Taiwan, and is planning to send a large delegation here next month. On Monday last week, the Czech Cabinet followed suit by announcing a donation of 30,000 doses to Taiwan.

Newsflash

China yesterday sentenced to death six more people convicted of murder, arson and other violent crimes during ethnic rioting that left at least 197 dead in the far-western city of Urumqi, bringing the total number of death sentences linked to the July unrest to 12.

The six sentenced to death yesterday were among 14 tried on Wednesday by the Urumqi Intermediate People’s Court, five of them apparently from the Uighur ethnic minority and one from the Han Chinese majority.
