Thursday, 08 July 2010 08:16 Taipei Times

Presidential Office Spokesman Lo Chih-chiang (羅智強) yesterday said he would pen a protest letter to Freedom House over its latest report alleging he meddled with news content while at the state-owned Central News Agency (CNA).

The Washington-based political and human rights watchdog this week released a full version of Freedom in the World 2010 that included individual country reports.

Freedom House cites sovereignty woes

Wednesday, 07 July 2010 09:00 Taipei Times

A report released by US rights watchdog Freedom House on Monday said that although many Taiwanese are in favor of improving economic and trade ties with China, critics believe the government has made concessions on sovereignty, that cross-strait policies have developed too quickly and that the process lacks transparency.

On Jan. 12, the Washington-based Freedom House released the political rights and civil liberties scores for its Freedom in the World 2010 survey. Taiwan’s political rights rating improved from 2 to 1, but its civil liberties rating dropped from 1 to 2.

Academics at a forum held by a pro-independence organization yesterday lauded President Tsai Ing-wen’s (蔡英文) refusal to recognize the so-called “1992 consensus,” but took issue with the president’s seeming inability to break the shackles of the Republic of China’s (ROC) constitutional system.

The World United Formosans for Independence invited a dozen of academics to examine Tsai’s policies in the first three months of her presidency and share their thoughts on her government’s performance in terms of national status, transitional justice, cross-strait ties and other areas.
