our members and the broader policy-making community with strategic insight into the bilateral relationship between the United States and Taiwan. This report is part of our continuing efforts to offer value-added benefits to all our member companies, as well as to help inform all those individuals who are actively engaged and interested in the Asia Pacific region. In 2006, Taiwan attempted to submit a Letter of Request (LOR) to the United States for Price and Availability (P&A) data for 66 F-16s to replace its aging fleet of F-5s and Mirage 2000-5s. Over the past four years, two U.S. administrations have taken the unprecedented step of denying a security partner the ability to even submit an LOR, thereby prohibiting a thorough evaluation of the legitimacy of Taiwan’s request. In the absence of any movement towards such an evaluation, Congress took it upon itself - in the spirit of cooperation embodied in the Taiwan Relations Act (TRA) - to instruct the Obama Administration to undertake such a review. On October 28, 2009, President Barack Obama signed into law the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010. Upon enactment of the legislation, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) received instruction from Congress directing it to submit a “Report on Taiwan’s Air Defense Forces” within 90 days. The directive report language stated: Report on Taiwan’s Air Defense Forces.

    sustainability Article An Expert-Based Assessment Model for Evaluating Habitat Suitability of Pond-Breeding Amphibians Shin-Ruoh Juang 1, Szu-Hung Chen 2 and Chen-Fa Wu 1,* 1 Department of Horticulture, National Chung Hsing University, Taichung City 402, Taiwan; [email protected] 2 Department of Ecosystem Science & Management, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77843, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel./Fax: +886-4-2285-9125 Academic Editor: Iain Gordon Received: 8 November 2016; Accepted: 10 February 2017; Published: 16 February 2017 Abstract: Farm ponds are important habitats for amphibians, birds, and other wildlife. In Taiwan, artificial ponds were originally created on farmlands for irrigation purposes and the needs of the domestic water supply. Although pond creation is a typical farming practice, it also provides habitats for pond-breeding amphibians. Thus, it is essential to understand the current status of habitats and their vulnerability regarding urgent conservation needs for target species. Günther’s frog (Hylarana guentheri), a pond-breeding amphibian, has a high sensitivity towards surrounding environmental changes, and can be used as an indicator species to assess habitat suitability. The purpose of this study is to establish a systematic framework to assess the habitat suitability of pond-breeding amphibians by using Günther’s frog as a pilot-study species. First, we collected frog survey data from Chiayi, Taiwan, from winter 2013 to spring 2015, and investigated the present status of the environmental conditions around the ponds. Next, expert questionnaires and the fuzzy Delphi method were applied to establish the hierarchical evaluation criteria regarding the habitat suitability assessment.

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.

  • Threading the Needle Proposals for U.S
    “Few actions could have a more important impact on U.S.-China relations than returning to the spirit of the U.S.-China Joint Communique of August 17, 1982, signed by our countries’ leaders. This EastWest Institute policy study is a bold and pathbreaking effort to demystify the issue of arms sales to Taiwan, including the important conclusion that neither nation is adhering to its commitment, though both can offer reasons for their actions and views. That is the first step that should lead to honest dialogue and practical steps the United States and China could take to improve this essential relationship.” – George Shultz, former U.S. Secretary of State “This EastWest Institute report represents a significant and bold reframing of an important and long- standing issue. The authors advance the unconventional idea that it is possible to adhere to existing U.S. law and policy, respect China’s legitimate concerns, and stand up appropriately for Taiwan—all at the same time. I believe EWI has, in fact, ‘threaded the needle’ on an exceedingly challenging policy problem and identified a highly promising solution-set in the sensible center: a modest voluntary capping of annual U.S. arms deliveries to Taiwan relative to historical levels concurrent to a modest, but not inconsequential Chinese reduction of its force posture vis-à-vis Taiwan. This study merits serious high-level attention.” – General (ret.) James L. Jones, former U.S. National Security Advisor “I commend co-authors Piin-Fen Kok and David Firestein for taking on, with such skill and methodological rigor, a difficult issue at the core of U.S-China relations: U.S.
