w*********r 发帖数: 42116 | 1 In office less than a week, Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen has already
defused a potential conflictual situation in the East China Sea. Her
administration has decided to leave the resolution of a dispute with Japan
over the status of Okinotori as a rock or island to the discretion of the UN
Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf.
Tsai’s action, while reversing the position of the Ma Ying-jeou
administration on this issue, is consistent with Taiwan’s overall posture
of respecting international law and working out disputes on the basis of
negotiation and arbitration rather than through the use of force, threats,
and coercion as is China's practice.
The Tsai decision also reflects the friendly relationship between Taiwan and
Japan, Taiwan being the only country with a relatively positive experience
under former Japanese occupation. | i**********k 发帖数: 5274 | | c****g 发帖数: 37081 | | c****g 发帖数: 37081 | |
