What is worse, they usually grab Taiwan's money with their right hand and China's money with their left hand. People feel nothing warm from Taiwan, so we can no longer insult them with money. I have been suggesting our government institutionalize our foreign aid projects and make them more transparent. Once the legislation governing provision of financial aid to foreign countries is passed by the legislature, we can then proceed in conformity with the law. I think, however, that we have more to give our foreign allies than money.
All political figures care about how they are viewed by history, however.
Clinton is ambitious to mediate between the two sides of the Strait and pushes Taiwan to resume talks with China. We should put aside international pressure and focus on our national interests when handling cross-strait relations. Thirdly, Taiwan deserves fair participation in any political negotiation and settlement regarding the cross-strait dispute. No one can violate another's freedom by fighting for his own freedom. We should work harder to find the niche in which both human rights and freedom of the press can be safeguarded.
