RZ17 - The Taiwan Independence Act

Published in Clark #3

WHEREAS, the island nation of Taiwan is not a part of China, but rather a multi-ethnic Pacific island colonized and settled by ethnic Chinese some five hundred years ago, and

WHEREAS, the people of Taiwan enjoy a flourishing democracy and a free-market economy that set them apart, morally, socially and culturally, from the Communist Chinese mainland, and

WHEREAS, the diplomatic fiction of the "Republic of China," by which the Taiwanese government once claimed to be the sole legitimate government of mainland China is wearing thin, and

WHEREAS, Taiwanese voters have elected, by a substantial majority, a government committed to declaring the island an independent, sovereign nation--which is, in reality, what Taiwan already is,

THEREFORE, the Kingdom of Talossa hereby

CALLS UPON the Government of Taiwan to proceed with its planned democratic vote on full legal independence,

DECLARES its support for the Taiwanese independence movement as a part of Talossa's general support for non-violent, democratic separatism everywhere, and

URGES the United States of America to stand by its alliance and security agreements with Taiwan, and to defend the island and its people in the event of military retaliation from Communist China.
