Taiwan, an island ever more beautiful
Formosa, meaning beautiful island, is another name for Taiwan (ROC). Blessed with
lush mountains, scenic lakes, and ocean views, Taiwan has always been known for its natural
splendor. These days, people in the world are taking note of another beautiful aspect of Taiwan's treasures: freedom and democratic institutions. Over the last twenty
years, free speech and free elections have become a way of life for
the people in Taiwan. The recent presidential election has demonstrated that Taiwan's democracy has become ever more mature and civil. This is a remarkable achievement
by the people of Taiwan.
The United States has a good trade relationship with Taiwan. As
Taiwan focuses on transforming its economy, it makes good sense for the US and
Taiwan to expand trade and cultural exchanges.
