Taiwan independence now!

Taiwan independence now!

A popular Taiwanese commentator named Tang Hsiang-lung wrote a piece on October 1, 2016, calling for immediate Taiwan independence.

The argument is that immediate Taiwan independence is the solution to all the problems and obstacles created by the bullying Chinese Communist regime.  It is the only way for Taiwan to free itself from the yoke of the “one China” trap.

The argument for immediate Taiwan independence presented is the same as the argument I had presented some time ago essentially based on the view that immediate Taiwan independence is the solution to all of Taiwan’s problems.

Over the past 8 years of the Ma Ying-jeou government, the mutual acceptance of the “1992 consensus” by the Chinese Communist mainland regime and Taiwan established and maintained a peaceful relationship with constant government and civilian contact.  Beginning on May 20, 2016, inauguration day of President Tsai Ing-wen and her new Democratic Progressive Party government, cross Strait relations stopped completely, all trade negotiations stopped, Chinese mainland tourists to Taiwan have declined by 40%.  And Taiwan has been blocked from ICAO and the despicable ICAO has even disallowed Taiwanese reporters to enter the meeting grounds and participants have been told that if any delegate even mentions Taiwan, their microphones will be silenced.

Is this not political bullying by ICAO?  ICAO is supposed to be an international assembly of everyone involved in aviation safety throughout the world.  Yet, Taiwan’s Taipei Flight Information Region covers 180,000 nautical miles of one of the world’s busiest region of international commercial flight routes and in 2015 provided 1.53 million air traffic control services for 58 million airline passengers.

To exclude Taiwan from participating in the ICAO is jeopardizing and risking the lives of all the international airlines passengers who fly in and out of northeast and southeast Asia.  The evil perpetrator of this crime against humanity is the Chinese Communist regime and its political agenda to exclude Taiwan from participation.

Verbal protests have proven ineffective to convince the Chinese Communist regime of its evilness and too many nations are seemingly blind to this evil that has hijacked the world organizations such as ICAO.

Now is the time for Taiwan to stand up and take action by immediately declaring Taiwan independence and the sovereignty of Taiwan separate from the Chinese Communist regime on the Chinese mainland.
