●  紐約時報 New York times, 12-13-2016 : 如今，台灣3分之2以上的海外直接投资流向大陸 ― 台灣最大的贸易伙伴。...台灣人的共識是，與大陸某种程度的经濟依存無法避免，但過度仰赖则有風险。是以極端的 经濟政策失去了人民的支持。...北京的策略是，對台湾讓利益，讓台湾人更頃向于统一，但尚未成功。另方面，北京加大施壓力度，  中止台灣的官方沟通、减少陸客來台旅遊  和圍堵台灣的國際空間——。Today, more than two-thirds of Taiwan’s outward foreign direct investment is to China, which is also Taiwan’s leading trading partner.  Taiwanese has emerged a consensus  that some degree of economic interdependence with China is unavoidable but that overdependence is risky.

●  Why China Can't Conquer Taiwan in a War , 11-17-2017   Zachary Keck http://nationalinterest.org/blog/the-buzz/why-china-cant-conquer-taiwan-war-23254
      A new study by Michael Beckley (Tufts University), published in the academic journal International Security argues that China’s neighbors could thwart Chinese military aggression through anti-access/area denial strategies with only minimal U.S. assistance. ...   if China was far more successful than the United States had been in those conflicts, Beijing’s ability to execute an amphibious invasion is still far from certain. For instance, Beckley notes that only ten percent of Taiwan’s coastlines are suitable for an amphibious landing, which would allow Taipei to concentrate its forces on a few key areas. Chinese forces trying to land would likely be severely outnumbered...美國外交政治雜誌《美國利益》（The National Interest）專文「為何中國無法武統台灣？」，引述美國Tufts University Michael Beckley 《國際安全》期刊論文: 北京根本無法擊敗亞太鄰國；事實上，中共連台灣也無法征服；僅管北京確能透過一些外交手段，嚇唬鄰國。北京的周邊鄰國，可以透過「反介入/區域阻絕武器」(Anti-access and area-denial，即A2AD武器防禦) ，並在美國適度協助之下，即可挫敗中國的領土擴張野心。

● China has finalized a clandestine plan to invade Taiwan in 2020 by launching missile attacks, blocking the nation’s air and sea space, and carrying out amphibious landings, Washington-based think tank Project 2049 Institute research fellow Ian Easton said. 　 ●  Democratic Progressive Party Legislator Lo Chih-cheng (羅致政) raised doubts over the time frame Easton asserted, saying that he did not think it is very precise. 　 ●China, according to the book <The Chinese Invasion Threat>, would "almost certainly" fail in its full-scale invasion of Taiwan but its military appears driven to prepare and carry out such an attack.

   ● 關注國際事務與文化的英國雜誌《MONOCLE》，連續數年公布全球軟實力國家排行榜。《單鏡片》(《MONOCLE》)並沒有從金融和軍隊實力的老角度去評判，而是從按各國的 culture, politics, business, diplomacy and education(文化產出、政治水平、 外交基建、教育能力及商業誘因)等範疇因素評選各國的軟實力。BBC認為「軟實力」已經變為一種國際性的外交政策目標。

   台灣並未雀屏中選於《MONOCLE》， 甚至連年輸給中國大陸， 與亞太國家如日本(Japan)、 南韓(South Korea)、澳洲(Australia)、 新加坡(Singapore)、紐西蘭(New Zealand)、 中國(China)、印度 (India)、 阿拉伯(UAE)，這些大小國家近年都曾經進入前20+名排行。學術論文指出，軟實力的提出負有政治任務，既然台灣軟實力如此，當初為什麼自吹自擂呢?

●  Taiwan is far behind to against torture and other cruel.台灣一再拖延修改刑法反酷刑, 原因為何?
     Apple Daily, headline, 12-9-2017:
     ◆  At end of 2017, a review found all conclusive advises by international review panel have not put into practice at all.

      ◆  In 2013, an international review panel ( human rights experts and scholars) came Taiwan and concluded :

          (1) "The Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment" should be added to Taiwan Criminal Law, and should be put into force AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
          (2)  The best method to root out torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment in Taiwan is that any person or officials who commits torture, those sort of crimes, should not have free liability of what they did.
    
     ps:  In 1984, The United Nations adopted the text of the convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment.   Most major countries including USA and China are signatories and ratifications.    In 2009, Taiwan adopted ICCPR and ICESCR as an alternative criminal law, in name " law of application" ('施行法'), to against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment.
        PS2:The members of the review panel visiting Taiwan in 2013 include Philip Alston, law professor at New York University; Eibe Riedel, former member of the United Nations Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights; Jerome Cohen, law professor at New York University; and Nisuke Ando, professor emeritus at Kyoto University.

survey to Taiwanese people since years ago  (in various versions)

　

　

To all the people:

　

According to Amnesty Int'l report years ago, "over half the world's government continue to use torture against their own citizens"

　

Is Taiwan a country which should be ranked latter half of the world ?

　

Taiwan had numerous lousy records of fooling Taiwanese and even the world, e.g., murdering American journalist 江南, making Taiwan white terror again, the latest one is trying to hide minor news about birds-flu at 1-2-2018 (BBC '12 reported this) .

　

This website is much better in credibility, reliability and objective degree than the mouthpiece of the government.

 

To accelerate Taiwan's reform, please provide with what you saw, knew or experienced about attacks or persecutions on some one in the way of demonization,  setup/conspiracy (e.g., giving dog a name and hang it), high-tech tortures, Orwellian terror, murders ...... by the state apparatus - if any.

　

Scary political climate for many years has made Taiwanese very obedient, hope some may speak out this time.

　

　

　

To the state apparatus:

　

Any rats doing cat's job, or cats with rat's genes in state apparatus should be completely revealed and eradicated ! 

"Police" should be open as the day, not hiding at dark corner underground, doing & speaking things sneaky and lousy like a crime.

Bring everything to light ! No keeping people mis-informed or half informed (worse than a lie) any more.   No waiting until media dig dirt one after another.

Obscurantism and avoiding admitting mistakes only prove rats' intention of repeating mistakes, as US Obama said.

　

ps: straight-forward words pls. to avoid any mis-interpretations.

 Nuremberg Code :  a set of research ethics principles for human experimentation set as a result of the subsequent Nuremberg trials at the end of the Second World War

1.       Required is the voluntary, well-informed, understanding consent of the human subject in a full legal capacity.
2.       The experiment should aim at positive results for society that cannot be procured in some other way.
3.        It should be based on previous knowledge (like, an expectation derived from animal experiments) that justifies the experiment.
4.        The experiment should be set up in a way that avoids unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injuries.
5.        It should not be conducted when there is any reason to believe that it implies a risk of death or disabling injury.
6.        The risks of the experiment should be in proportion to (that is, not exceed) the expected humanitarian benefits.
7.        Preparations and facilities must be provided that adequately protect the subjects against the experiment’s risks.
8.        The staff who conduct or take part in the experiment must be fully trained and scientifically qualified. 
9.        The human subjects must be free to immediately quit the experiment at any point when they feel physically or mentally unable to go on.
10.         Likewise, the medical staff must stop the experiment at any point when they observe that continuation would be dangerous.
