Dear President Biden, I am reaching out to you today to urge you to meet with the Dalai Lama later this year when you visit India. His Holiness has been a significant figure in the promotion of peace and nonviolence throughout the world, and I believe that a meeting between the two of you would be incredibly valuable.
As you know, the Tibetan people have faced significant struggles over the years, as their culture and traditions have been threatened by outside forces. The Dalai Lama has been a tireless advocate for the rights of the Tibetan people, and his leadership has been a beacon of hope for millions of people around the world.
By meeting with His Holiness, you would not only be showing your support for the cause of peace and nonviolence, but you would also be signaling to the Tibetan people that they are not forgotten. Your engagement and dialogue with the Dalai Lama could help pave the way for more constructive and productive conversations about the situation in Tibet.
I believe that your administration has a particular obligation to engage with the Dalai Lama and to support the Tibetan people. I urge you to make this meeting a priority, and to do everything in your power to ensure that it takes place as soon as possible.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
Sincerely,
Khedroob Thondup
Former member of the Tibetan Parliament in Exile
Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) caucus whip Fu Kun-chi (傅?萁) has caused havoc with his attempts to overturn the democratic and constitutional order in the legislature.

This servile spirit is ingrained in Chinese culture. About a century ago, Chinese satirist and author Lu Xun (魯迅) saw through the servile nature of
In their New York Times bestseller How Democracies Die, Harvard political scientists Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt said that democracies today “may die at the hands not of generals but of elected leaders. Many government efforts to subvert democracy are ‘legal,’ in the sense that they are approved by the legislature or accepted by the courts. They may even be portrayed as efforts to improve democracy — making the judiciary more efficient, combating corruption, or cleaning up the electoral process.” Moreover, the two authors observe that those who denounce such legal threats to democracy are often “dismissed as exaggerating or
Monday was the 37th anniversary of former president Chiang Ching-kuo’s (蔣經國) death. Chiang — a son of former president Chiang Kai-shek (蔣介石), who had implemented party-state rule and martial law in Taiwan — has a complicated legacy. Whether one looks at his time in power in a positive or negative light depends very much on who they are, and what their relationship with the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) is. Although toward the end of his life Chiang Ching-kuo lifted martial law and steered Taiwan onto the path of democratization, these changes were forced upon him by internal and external pressures,
The Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) caucus in the Legislative Yuan has made an internal decision to freeze NT$1.8 billion (US$54.7 million) of the indigenous submarine project’s NT$2 billion budget. This means that up to 90 percent of the budget cannot be utilized. It would only be accessible if the legislature agrees to lift the freeze sometime in the future. However, for Taiwan to construct its own submarines, it must rely on foreign support for several key pieces of equipment and technology. These foreign supporters would also be forced to endure significant pressure, infiltration and influence from Beijing. In other words,
