He also preached at a time when U.S. policy toward Taiwan amended the moment.
“US-Taiwan Business Council,” President Bo Han Confucianism in the article that the Chinese mainland this year, a substantial increase in military spending 12.7% of the news and leading to concerns of other countries is bound to discuss how to deal with for some time. But for Washington, the discussion must include a majority of U.S. relations with Taiwan.

But the article is absurdly claimed that the Chinese mainland’s military modernization main purpose is to force projection to neighboring China, to remind Washington of Taiwan authorities still can not ignore.
article said, Taiwan’s situation looks on the surface of a solid, especially in Taiwan and the mainland has entered the third year of reconciliation, but an increasing tendency to cross-strait relations dominated by the Chinese mainland. Indifferent attitude of the United States and the heart next to the greedy, but apparently worried that if to show “excessive” support Taiwan could jeopardize cooperation between Washington and Beijing’s other efforts.
mainland China increased military investment on the status quo across the Taiwan Strait have a huge impact, but also the Asia-Pacific security challenge the United States as a whole layout.

This allows the people of Taiwan to accept economic cooperation, and not worried about political will absorb the inevitable result.
Korean Confucianism Bo pointed out that Ma has been trying to do, but the lack of U.S. support, Taiwan can not continue to maintain this line. Substantial U.S. support, must be able to challenge China’s growing military threat, should and must include the continued sale of arms to Taiwan, to upgrade weapons, such as the F-16 fighters and submarines.
In addition, U.S. support must also include the expansion and improvement of the bilateral level of direct communication between the government and restore the U.S. cabinet officials to visit Taiwan and other practices. In addition, any expansion of Taiwan must become a U.S. free trade initiatives as part of Asia, either through the “Pan-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership Agreement” of multilateral negotiations and bilateral free trade agreements.
conclusion, the article said, Washington relations in Taiwan lack of ambition, deeply troubling, the face of negative U.S. mainland to understand missed, is stepping up advancing. To the people of Taiwan and the protection of U.S. interests in Asia, the community can only hope that Obama began to realize the government of China on the Taiwan issue has become more and more bold.
