Our great city would not be the global hub of commerce, innovation and higher education it is today without the tremendous contributions of Asian New Yorkers. Established in 1975, CAAPS provides opportunities for Chinese American scholars and professionals from a variety of sectors to network, share knowledge, develop their skills and advance their careers. As you gather to exchange ideas about improving society through multidisciplinary collaboration, I commend this wonderful organization for its efforts to strengthen our academic and business communities, promote cross-cultural understanding, and empower Chinese American leaders throughout the five boroughs and beyond. Together, we are forging a brighter, more inclusive future for all. On behalf of the City of New York, please accept my best wishes for a productive conference and continued success. Sincerely, Bill de Blasio Mayor Chairman’s Welcome Statement On behalf of the Chinese American Academic and Professional Society (CAAPS), it is my great pleasure to welcome you to our 41st Annual Convention. I deeply appreciate your enthusiastic participation and generous support over the past 41years. You have made CAAPS one of the most prestigious and influential Chinese American organizations in the United States. For more than four decades, CAAPS has dedicated its efforts to promoting collaboration and fellowship among Chinese professionals and scholars to advance science, technology, culture, and the arts — as well as improve communication and mutual understanding among Chinese Americans and other ethnic groups in America. The theme of our convention is “-Multidisciplinary Collaboration for a Better Society.” Our goal is to promote innovative approaches in all disciplines and celebrate extraordinary scholars — especially ones of Chinese descent. We are honored to have Dr. David Chang, former Chancellor of Polytech Institute of NYU and Dr. Vincent Chen of Taiwan Central Election Council as the 2016 Convention Opening Keynote Speakers. Ambassador Stanley Kao, Republic of China Representative to the United States is invited as the Convention Banquet Keynote Speaker. For the Technical Session, we invited experts to present their research/study findings during the convention. There are eight sessions, including: Medical Technology , Healthy Life , Emerging Information and Technology , Smart Architecture and Environmental Protection , Multidisciplinary Education and Cultural Innovation , Economic Growth and Business Development , Technology Innovation and Applications , and Urban Planning and Transportation . We are sincerely grateful for all the organizers, chairs, speakers and volunteers who spent countless time and effort to make this core session of the convention successful. My special gratitude goes to the following sponsors for their encouragement and financial support to make this convention possible: Dr. James Pi, Dr. James Chao, Mr. Tony Wang, Mr. Thomas Chen, Mr. Michael Lee, Mr. Gene Wang and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Offices (TECOs) in the U.S. and Overseas Community Affairs Council for their extensive support.

The office serves an important function in managing foreign relations between the home and host governments. Definition In the most basic terms, the "embassy" refers to both a diplomatic mission that is set up permanently in a host country and the actual building that is home to embassy offices. Purpose An embassy helps to preserve and protect the relationship between the host country and the country represented by that particular embassy office. The embassy can be a point of contact, or base of communication, between two countries. Embassy VS. Consulate Embassy Consulate ● An Embassy is the diplomatic ● A Consulate is the representation of the representation of a country's public administration of a country in a foreign government in another country, and city (not necessarily in the capital city).

Informe La participación de Taiwan en la Asamblea Mundial de la Salud celebrada en Ginebra (Suiza) entre los días 23 y 28 de Mayo ha permitido visibilizar una primera (y fría) toma de contacto a nivel ministerial entre representantes de ambos lados del Estrecho. El ministro de sanidad Lin Tsou-yen desplegó un discurso poniendo el acento en la despolitización de la participación y el énfasis en un abordaje profesional y pragmático de interés para la comunidad internacional. El ministro taiwanés apeló a la OMS a permitir la participación estable de la isla en sus actividades. 1 Por tratarse del primer evento diplomático con participación taiwanesa tras la investidura de la presidenta Tsai Ing-wen, la atención estaba más que justificada. En la delegación oficial se incluyeron representantes funcionariales y partidarios, incluyendo al PDP, KMT, PPP y PNP. Lin mantuvo un breve saludo con el representante continental Li Bin al margen de la asamblea, pero no hubo avances ni respuesta a su invitación para sostener una reunión bilateral. Esta negativa abunda en la idea de que Beijing no dará su brazo a torcer y pudiera ser la primera señal de una suspensión de las relaciones a través del Estrecho. El representante taiwanés mantuvo reuniones con delegaciones de EEUU o Japón. En los últimos años también había encuentros con la comitiva continental. Desde 2009, Taiwan participa como observador.

Cooper* ABSTRACT This Article explores the plight of the Aborigines of Taiwan and the legal protections that exist for their Traditional Knowledge. While Taiwan continues to face international isolation with a diminished number of states recognizing the Republic of China as the seat of China, the island's government has taken limited steps to recognize language, cultural, and economic rights of its Indigenous peoples. International law has not been helpful in protecting Traditional Knowledge, but Taiwan could use its vast economic resources and positive track record in protecting some of these rights to further its goals of international recognition. This Article details the current regulation of Traditional Knowledge, both internationally and within Taiwan, and calls for a new international treaty in which the Republic of China could take * The author is Associate Dean, Experiential Learning, Professor of Law, and Director of International Legal Studies at California Western School of Law in San Diego, United States.

  • Chronology of China-Taiwan Relations

    Chronology of China-Taiwan Relations

    CHINA-TAIWAN RELATIONS ADRIFT WITHOUT DIALOGUE DAVID G. BROWN, JOHNS HOPKINS SCHOOL OF ADVANCED INTERNATIONAL STUDIES KEVIN SCOTT In February, President Trump told President Xi Jinping that the US would honor its one-China policy. This eased concern that the new administration would radically change US policy toward Taiwan, but it remains unclear how the Trump administration will deal with specific Taiwan issues. Relations between Beijing and Taipei have continued to be in an unstable but calm state in the early months of 2017. The formal channels of dialogue remain closed and no significant effort has been made to reopen them. In the meantime, practical issues have been dealt with, sometimes constructively but often in ways that exacerbate the lack of trust. This unstable and risky situation will likely continue in the months ahead.
