Defense Minister Lee Jye yesterday apologized to opposition law makers after his ministry linked their disapproval of a billion-dollar U.S. arms deal to their party leader's landmark China visits, as he pleaded for more support. "I apologize ... as opposition parties are not the only ones who visit China," Lee told legislators during a question-and-answer session. Lee's remarks were aimed at winning over the skeptical opposition, which has used its slim legislative majority to block a special budget for purchasing sophisticated U.S. weaponry for over a year. Opposition law makers told him the defense ministry criticisms a week ago spoiled the ministry's neutral image. Lee said his military officials made the comments as they felt pressured by top level U.S. officials publicly questioning Taiwan's resolve to defend itself around this time.

The government slashed it to NT$480 billion to please the opposition after the budget failed to get a legislative hearing. http://www.chinapost.com.tw/i_latestdetail.asp?id=31059 Chen denies 'money-diplomacy' allegations over new initiative. President Chen Shui-bian yesterday denied categorically allegations that his new initiative to pursue common prosperity with Taiwan's diplomatic allies in Central America, dubbed the "Jung Pang Project," is a kind of money diplomacy. Chen stressed that the project is a new strategy designed to help Taiwan businesses invest in Central America and the Caribbean, thereby further cementing diplomatic ties around the region. "This is absolutely not a kind of financial aid or donation." Chen made the statements during a tea party held in Santa Domingo, with reporters accompanying him in an ongoing tour of some Central American countries. The president also denied reports that under the project, US$250 million will be spent per year, saying that the project will call for a total outlay of US$250 million, paid out in stages rather than as a lump sum. Chen said the new initiative will be designed to help the diplomatic allies in the region bolster investment and upgrade industrial structure. As the government wants to seize the great business opportunities resulting from the passage of the Central American Free Trade Agreement by the U.S. Congress and the expected formation of the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA), it has to join hands with the private sector to increase investment in Central America and the Caribbean. according to Chen. http://www.chinapost.com.tw/taiwan/detail.asp?ID=69183&GRP=B Arrest in death of Taiwan club goer. FOLLOWING a month's investigation and a pursuit across three provinces, city police arrested seven key suspects in an armed Shanghai nightclub fight that left one Taiwanese businessman dead and three others injured. The arrests were made in Dalian, Liaoning Province, police said yesterday. They are still hunting for other attackers, known as hatchet men, involved in the assault on August 30. It was triggered by a dispute over the bill between nightclub employees and Taiwan customers at Zunzun Nightclub in Zhoupu Town, Nanhui District. The arrested included a nightclub shareholder, Fu Yanjun, and the alleged chief attacker, Liu Zhenli. Local industrial and commercial authorities withdrew the nightclub's business permit. It was ordered to shut down and fined 20,000 yuan (US$2,477). City police were called shortly after midnight, but the armed attackers had escaped. The four wounded were taken to the hospital, where one victim, identified as Li Deyuan, died from blood loss after his left thigh artery was severed. Police said the other three injured were Li's father, brother and a friend, all of them doing business in Shanghai. The four went to the nightclub and later quarreled over tips. Later they were assaulted by 10 armed unidentified men as they left. Local police immediately responded and investigators identified the suspects within a day. A special task force first seized three attackers in the city and in the next two weeks officers traced suspects to Jiangsu, Liaoning and Shandong provinces, capturing the other four. http://www.atebe.com.tw Powered by Joomla!

Although authorities have tried to crack down on illegal arms for decades, trade in them remains rampant, as revealed by the large number of weapons found in fugitive Chang Hsi-ming's (5+˜) possession. Recently, two prosecutors have faced allegations of being involved in arms smuggling, with one detained and another indicted. The cases revealed that smugglers are sourcing weapons from the Philippine military, and that collusion by the nation's law enforcement officials is behind the spread of illegal arms. A lead prosecutor at the Kaohsiung Bureau of the Taiwan High Prosecutors' Office, Chang Hsueh-ming (5x), noted the case of one detainee, Chu Jui-teh (1Z·), a Taiwanese gangster who lived in Manila for years and has been indicted for smuggling weapons. Chu worked with a Japanese Filipino, Nemoto Akira, to smuggle arms into Taiwan, procuring a large number of weapons from the Philippine military. Chang said that according to Chu, Akira had close ties with the Philippines' military and Chu had accompanied Akira several times to buy rifles, pistols, submachine guns, grenades and ammunition outside a military base near Manila airport. Chang said that according to Chu, it was easy to procure superior weapons from the Philippine military. http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2005/09/26/2003273257 Taiwan writer Li Ao hails good chance for China. Famous Taiwan writer and cultural figure Li Ao stressed on Monday that there is an unprecedented good chance for China's development and urged the country to grasp it. "Not only China, but also its people, culture and the characters, are experiencing an advantageous opportunity that has never been seen in the past," said the 70-year-old author during his one-hour lecture at the prestigious Fudan University. Li, who arrived here Sunday for his second leg on the 10-day "Chinese culture trip" after visiting Beijing, cited the phrase "Chinaman's chance" born during the gold rush in America, implying that Chinese people used to have slim chances of development. The writer, who left Shanghai for Taiwan at the age of 13, recalled the bitter life of his countrymen more than five decades ago and called on the Chinese to cherish the current good opportunity, highlighting the significance of a strong and prosperous homeland. Li highly hailed the felicity of Chinese wording and phrasing and the dulcet atmosphere of the language, pointing out that it is not so hard to learn Chinese with the help of computer science. Patriotism and professionals "can create a paradise" together, said Li, who is also a member of Taiwan's legislature and a staunch supporter of China's unification. http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2005-09/26/content_3546900.htm Pan-blue bill aims to surrender Taiwan.

The two "pan-blue" parties will carry out this capitulation by attempting to ramrod a draft "law to promote peace on both sides of the Strait" through the Legislative Yuan. First mooted by the PFP last fall, the draft bill follows in the path blazed by the pan-blue's defunct anti-democratic "truth tribunal" on the March 19, 2004 shooting of President Chen Shui-bian and Vice President Annette Lu in attempting to assign to the Legislature the power of our government to negotiate and sign treaties with the PRC. The proposed law explicitly states that its purpose is to set up a mechanism to negotiate cross-strait peace and other agreements with Beijing under the precondition of "the five noes" and the "Consensus of 1992." The PFP bill, which has gained the support of the KMT legislative caucus, would establish a 17-person "special commission for cross-strait consultations" which will be chosen based on the share of parties in the Legislature and thus will be controlled by the KMT and PFP. This commission would be explicitly empowered with the power to appoint "peace ambassadors" to negotiate and sign agreements on cross-strait peace direct communication links, an investment guarantee agreement for Taiwanese businesses, cross-strait financial interchange and supervision, cross-strait free trade agreements and other deals.

The Nationalist Party first defined the Incident as a rebellion by pro-Japanese forces and communist saboteurs. As the enemy of the Nationalist Party in China’s Civil War (1946-1949), the Chinese Communist Party initially interpreted the Incident as a Taiwanese fight for political autonomy in the party’s wartime propaganda, and then reinterpreted the event as an anti-Nationalist uprising under its own leadership.

    Why So Little? The Curious Case of Taiwan’s Defense Spending Steven X. Li A dissertation submitting in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2020 Reading Committee: David Bachman, Chair James Lin William Lavely Program Authorized to Offer Degree: International Studies i ©Copyright 2020 Steven X. Li ii University of Washington Abstract Why So Little? The Curious Case of Taiwan’s Defense Spending Steven X. Li Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor David Bachman Jackson School of International Studies Taiwan’s defense budget continues to be a friction point in U.S.-Taiwan defense relations. Despite having adopted allocating 3 percent of its GDP towards defense as a target, Taipei continues to hover around 2 percent in annual defense spending. This dissertation examines the reasons for this shortfall and also assesses if 3 percent is an appropriate or meaningful target. It argues that Taiwan’s defense spending is constrained by a multitude of factors across political contexts, practical limitations, and procedural impediments. As such, using 3 percent of GDP as a standard for Taiwan’s defense spending or measurement of its commitment to self-defense, without adequately understanding all the factors, would be inappropriate and superficial. First and foremost, international isolation along with domestic necessities shape Taipei’s defense behavior politically. On the international level, geopolitical isolation makes Taiwan reliant on U.S. support but the fear of abandonment continues to motivate Taipei’s behavior in its relationship with Washington. At the domestic level, the lack of iii decision-making centrality and cohesion undermine Taipei’s ability to change.

  • Comparative Connections a Quarterly E-Journal on East Asian Bilateral Relations
    Comparative Connections A Quarterly E-Journal on East Asian Bilateral Relations China-Taiwan Relations: Beijing Prefers to Tango with the Opposition David R. Brown The Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies The summer saw Beijing extending friendly gestures toward Taiwan – a welcome change. Beijing has worked to build on the visits by opposition party leaders in the spring, while seeking to marginalize President Chen Shui-bian’s administration. Initiatives that China could implement on its own have gone ahead, while those requiring cooperation from the Taiwan government have languished. China conducted its first joint military exercise with Russia in August, and structured the exercise so that people in Taiwan would see it as threatening. Nevertheless, partisan wrangling in Taipei continued to delay a decision on adoption of the supplemental arms budget. Cross-Strait trade continued to grow, but at a relatively slow pace. Beijing’s strategy to marginalize Chen will limit progress on cross-Strait functional issues and not necessarily rebound to Beijing’s long-term benefit. Follow-up on functional issues Beijing has focused its cross-Strait work on following up on proposals made during the visits of opposition party leaders Lien Chan and James Soong Chu-yu in the spring. To recapitulate, Beijing proposed for Lien a gift of pandas, liberalization of agricultural trade, and encouragement of tourism to Taiwan. Beijing offered Soong improved treatment for Taiwanese residents in China and for Taiwan students studying and working in China. Many of these ideas had been suggested originally by the opposition. Beijing has worked with the Nationalist (KMT) and People’s First Party (PFP) and groups friendly to them in trying to advance these initiatives.

  • Merger and Takeover Attempts in Taiwanese Party Politics
    This is the author’s accepted version of a forthcoming article in Issues and Studies that will be published by National ChengChi University: http://issues.nccu.edu.tw/ Accepted version downloaded from SOAS Research Online: http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/24849/ Merger and Takeover Attempts in Taiwanese Party Politics Dafydd Fell, Department of Politics and International Studies, SOAS University of London Introduction It is often assumed that in mature democracies party mergers are rare. Mair’s study of Western European parties found only 18 cases between 1945 and 1987, with almost half of them taking place in just two countries, Italy and Finland.1 Since the Second World War the only merger of relevant political parties in the United Kingdom was between the Social Democratic Party and Liberal Party in 1988. Unsurprisingly the literature on party merging was until recently quite limited. However, party mergers in consolidated democracies such as in Canada, the Netherlands and Germany in the post Cold War period has led to a renewed interest in the phenomenon.2 In fact a recent study that found 94 European party 3 merger cases in the post-war period suggests mergers are becoming more common. Party mergers are more frequent in new democracies where the party system is not yet fully institutionalised. Since the early 1990s the South Korean party system has featured a seemingly endless pattern of party splits and mergers.4 In another Asian democracy, Japan, party mergers have played a critical role in the development of its party system. For instance, after a period of extensive party splinters and new party start-ups, a major party merger between 1997 and 1998 allowed the Democratic Party of Japan to become a viable 5 challenger to the Liberal Democratic Party for government.

  • The Communist Party of China (CPC) Convened in November 2012
    Chapter 5 China: The 18th Party Congress Focuses on the Next Generation of Leadership he Communist Party of China (CPC) convened in November 2012 the TEighteenth CPC National Congress (hereafter, “Eighteenth Party Congress”), the most recent session of the national congresses it holds every five year. This was a milestone event that, in contrast with the seventeenth session, saw the departure of many members of the party’s top echelon—including Hu Jintao, who stepped down as CPC general secretary after completing two consecutive five-year terms—and the launch of a new leadership headed by Xi Jinping as general secretary. Although China had sought to hold the congress under tranquil conditions during this transition of power, it encountered various challenges both domestically and internationally. On the domestic scene, the CPC’s selection of new leaders was greatly influenced by the downfall of Bo Xilai, secretary of the party’s Chongqing Municipal Committee, which was precipitated by an incident in which Chongqing Vice Mayor Wang Lijun fled into the US consulate in Chengdu. Internationally, the Chinese government was pressed to deal with the US strategy of “rebalancing to Asia” in the context of China-US relations, which for China represent the most important element of constructing a stable global environment. On the whole, Beijing displayed a restrained reaction, making efforts to foster a stable relationship with the United States through mutual state visits and the implementation and establishment of various frameworks for talks and exchange. Nevertheless, the aforementioned US strategy is perceived by some as an attempt to create a strategic deterrence system specifically targeted at China.

  • Taiwan: Major U.S. Arms Sales Since 1990
    Taiwan: Major U.S. Arms Sales Since 1990 Shirley A. Kan Specialist in Asian Security Affairs August 29, 2014 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL30957 Taiwan: Major U.S. Arms Sales Since 1990 Summary This report, updated through the 113th Congress, discusses U.S. security assistance to Taiwan (calling itself Republic of China (ROC)), including policy issues for Congress and legislation. Congress has oversight of the Taiwan Relations Act (TRA), P.L. 96-8, which has governed arms sales to Taiwan since 1979, when the United States recognized the People’s Republic of China (PRC) instead of the ROC. The U.S.-ROC Mutual Defense Treaty terminated in 1979. Two other relevant parts of the “one China” policy are the August 17, 1982, U.S.-PRC Joint Communique and the “Six Assurances” to Taiwan. U.S. arms sales to Taiwan have been significant. The United States also expanded military ties with Taiwan after the PRC’s missile firings in 1995-1996. At the last U.S.-Taiwan annual arms sales talks on April 24, 2001, President George W. Bush approved for possible sale diesel-electric submarines, P-3 anti-submarine warfare (ASW) aircraft (linked to the submarine sale), four decommissioned U.S. Kidd-class destroyers, and other items. Bush also deferred decisions on Aegis-equipped destroyers and other items, while denying other requests. Afterward, attention turned to Taiwan, where the military, civilian officials, and legislators from competing political parties debated contentious issues about how much to spend on defense and which U.S. weapons to acquire, despite the increasing threat (including a missile buildup) from the PRC’s military, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA).

  • TAIWAN and ITS CONTEXTS Imagining Musha
    TAIWAN AND ITS CONTEXTS April 26-28, 2007 Yale University ABSTRACT Imagining Musha: Historical Violence and the Politics of Representation Michael Berry University of California, Santa Barbara [email protected] It was during the height of the Japanese colonial period in Taiwan, and virtually all forms of armed resistance had long been suppressed. But all of that changed one fall morning in Musha (Wushe), a small town nestled deep in the mountains of central Taiwan and occupied primarily by aborigine tribes. October 27, 1930 was the date set for the annual track meet to be held at Musha Elementary School. The event, however, turned violent when Mona Rudao of the Atayal tribe led more than 1,200 tribesmen on an ambush resulting in the death 136 Japanese – the entire colonial presence occupying Musha – in a bloody event that would be called the Musha Incident. The Japanese responded with a massive deployment of troops and state-of-the-art weaponry to suppress the uprising, even going so far as to recruit other pro-Japanese tribes to hunt down the perpetrators. This Second Musha Incident, as it was later characterized, culminated with the near extermination of the Atayal tribe and the forced exile of the few survivors away from their ancestral homeland of Musha to Chuanzhongdao, (present day Qingliu).” The Musha Incident (including the Japanese response) has become one of the most contested sites in modern Taiwan history. Over the course of the past seventy-five years, the image of Musha in popular culture has been radically transformed and repeatedly reinvented to serve different political, cultural, and historical agendas.

  • Whither the Kuomintang?* John Fuh-Sheng Hsieh
    Whither the Kuomintang?* John Fuh-sheng Hsieh On 18 March 2000, 82.69 per cent of eligible voters went to the polls to elect the new president of the Republic of China on Taiwan (ROC). It was embarrassing to the ruling Kuomintang (Nationalist Party, KMT) that its candidate Lien Chan, the incumbent vice-president, was not only defeated by the Democratic Progressive Party’s (DPP) Chen Shui-bian but also lagged far behind the KMT-turned-independent James Soong (see Table 1). This marks the first time that the KMT has been defeated in a major national election in Taiwan.1 Of course, the loss in the presidential election does not mean that the KMT will no longer play a significant role in Taiwanese politics. In fact, it still controls a majority, albeit a shaky majority, of seats in the Legislative Yuan, rendering it an important political force to be reckoned with. Given Taiwan’s consti- tutional form of government, which is theoretically closer to the parlia- mentary system,2 the KMT will continue to exert a great deal of influence on Taiwan’s politics. Nevertheless, the fact is that the KMT candidate was defeated badly in the presidential election. Immediately afterwards President Lee Teng-hui stepped down from the KMT chairmanship amid the protest of some traditional KMT supporters who demanded that Lee take responsibility for Lien’s defeat, or more accurately, for Chen’s victory. Lien succeeded Lee as acting chairman, and later chairman, of the party. The KMT seems to be seriously demoralized. Furthermore, the independent presidential *Anearlier version of this article was presented at the Conference on President Lee Teng-hui’s Legacy: Formation and Implications, Taipei, Taiwan, ROC, May 2000.
