It was recently found that the U.S. Pacific Tsunami Warning Center (PTWC) refers to Taiwan as 'Chinese Taipei.' After this was pointed out by an opposition legislator, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) requested only that the PTWC correct the name. The fact that the MOFA is so insensitive to the issue is an indication that upholding the country's sovereignty and dignity is not a priority of President Ma Ying-jeou's administration. Last year, the Ma administration struck a secret deal with China to allow Taiwan to attend the World Health Assembly as an observer under the name of 'Chinese Taipei.' Obviously, Ma does not find the name 'Chinese Taipei' offensive at all. However, when facing 'foreign countries, ' he makes gestures 'to safeguard national sovereignty, ' pretending that he has not sold out Taiwan. Adopting the name 'Chinese Taipei' was originally a compromise measure to facilitate Taiwan's participation in Olympic Games. Ma has extended the Olympic model to the country's participation in international organizations, putting a China cap on Taiwan's head. Certainly, Ma does not mind at all, because this will push Taiwan a step forward toward ultimate unification with China. Ma's poor governance is known to everyone. However, when it comes to aligning Taiwan with China, he is quite adroit. (March 4, 2010)
