ECFA - Mais que faire pour fêter le centenaire, ma chérie ?


Chapitre 10 : Interessant cet article :


Extraits dans la presse :
  • "Beijing looks to WTO meeting to open Taiwan to Chinese investment"
  • "China's attention has shifted to Taiwan's restrictions on Chinese investment."
  • "China is expected to ask Taiwan to open its doors wider to Chinese investors during a World Trade Organization (WTO) trade policy review (TPR) meeting slated for July 5 and July 7 in Geneva [...]."
  • "China has also expressed great interest in Taiwan's six major emerging industries for priority development, including biotech, green energy, medical care, culture and creativity, tourism and high-end agriculture."

Une nouvelle à laquelle on n'ose croire :

Extraits:
  • China [...] willing to let Taiwan negotiate trade pacts with the outside world [...].
  • China [...] will let Taiwan sign free trade agreements with major trading partners via the World Trade Organisation, removing an obstacle to a plank in the $390 billion island economy's long-term growth strategy.
  • [...] as a member of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), Taiwan could pursue pacts with other member economies, sidestepping the issue of sovereignty.
D'un autre côté, le cadre WTO existait déjà pour Taiwan, alors est-ce juste que les autres pays auraient eu "peur" de la Chine autrement. Finalement, est-ce que tout cela n'est pas encore qu'une comédie ?

Est-ce seulement un bluff pour que le parlement ne fasse pas d'histoires, et approuve l'accord ou soit-disant "traité" sans l'analyser en détail ?? 
Une autre nouvelle sous-entend qu'il y aurait une "menace" sur les fameux FTA potentiels, dans le cas où le parlement n'approuverait pas les (deux ?) accords ???

Tiens, il faut que j'achête le DVD :

Formosa Betrayed coming to theaters in Taiwan By The Peking Duck - global blogger, July 6, 2010

Extraits - Please go to read the whole excellent text by "The Peking Duck" :
  • "On August 6, the 2009 thriller Formosa Betrayed will be seen for the first time in Taiwan, about two weeks after it becomes available here on DVD."
  • "I had to smile when, early on in the film, Agent Kelly checks into a Taiwan hotel and is handed the keys to Room No. 228. It’s a shame that just about no one knows what 228 is, about how on that day, February 28, 1947, an incident took place that would unleash the full savagery of the Chiang Kai Shek regime, resulting in the wanton slaughter of as many as 30,000 innocent Taiwanese citizens. It was a tragedy that makes Tiananmen look trivial. It is shocking that it remains unknown. But to Taiwan’s credit, it is a great weight on the nation’s conscience, and everyone there knows about it."
  • "There is a propaganda element to this movie, which is clearly an advocate for Taiwanese independence. It makes the point that Taiwan has been exploited for centuries, ruled by the Japanese and then by Chiang (at first welcomed as a hero), and that the fate of the island was then put into jeopardy by the US’s recognition of the PRC. Shouldn’t this country, the film shouts at you, be allowed to be independent?"

Cette nouvelle me fait très peur :

Le futur hub du tourisme médical taiwanais sera installé à Taoyuan

Extraits :
  • "des domaines aussi pointus que la reconstruction cranio-faciale, les greffes d'organes, les chirurgies cardiovasculaires et la reproduction artificielle"
  • "une procédure d'immigration simplifiée pour les patients non ressortissants de Taiwan"
Et cette définition à réfléchir :
  • "Tourisme médical : tourisme dont le but principal est d'obtenir des soins de santé à plus bas prix que ceux offerts dans son pays ou d'avoir accès à des pratiques médicales qui y sont interdites."
La Chine en rêve depuis des années. j'espère que Taiwan n'aura jamais à le regretter (??).

Le premier des "nouveaux FTA" ? :

Taiwan is on the way of FTA with Thailand, Taiwan News, 2010-07-08

Extraits :
  • "Taiwan’s investors treat Thailand as the third most attractive market only next to the US and the European Union"
  • "As the center of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), Thailand, a nation with a population of more than 630 million, is an important market with opportunities."
  • "Thailand is Taiwan’s 13th largest trading partner last year. For Thailand, Taiwan is its 12th largest trading partner and the 18th largest export market."
  • "According to statistics, Taiwan invests a total of more than US$12.5 billion in a wide range of industries including electricity, metal, mechanics, chemistry and paper."
On y croit.

Les problèmes entre Taiwan et Japon continuent :

Après les récents problèmes qui avaient amené le représentant du Japon à Taiwan à démissionner, créant une situation navrante clairement imputable au président taiwanais, voici du nouveau, juste avant la signature de l'ECFA:

Japan doesent trust Taiwan anymore,Japan takes a shot at China- via Taiwan By Jens Kastner and Wang Jyh-Perng, Asia Times Online Ltd.

Extraits :
  • "Japan has extended its Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) near Taiwan in the East China Sea [...]."
  • "To [Members of Taiwan's opposition], the affair signifies that Japan doesn't trust Taiwan anymore."
  • "From a Japanese perspective, China has been challenging Japan's interests in the East China Sea in ever-shorter intervals."
  • "Japan's extension of its ADIZ is to be seen in the context of the complicated East China Sea sovereignty disputes."
  • "The problems with the Japanese aren't new, and they have always been raised by the Taiwanese. However, under Taiwan's administrations that were pro-Japanese, there was no urgent need to solve them."

Chapitre 11 : Debut de revue de ECFA au parlement - 1 minute devrait suffire au KMT, sans doute ?

Un article très clair du Taiwan News (comme très souvent) :

Mais le KMT annonce en début de session le passage du texte en seconde lecture - donc pas de discussion (!!!) - donc une belle bagarre à la clé (de toute façon tout le monde s'y attendait).

Excellent article encore, car il pose le problème de fond :
Extraits très intéressants :
  • "Nevertheless, many citizens wonder why Ma and the KMT leadership feel that it is necessary to adopt legislative "majority violence" to secure the passage of the ECFA and its related legal revisions."
  • "With 74 of 113 seats compared to the DPP's 33 slots, the KMT holds an overwhelming majority and need have no fear that passage of the ECFA would not be endangered from article by article review or discussion."
  • "Surely one objective is to short-circuit the real possibility that an extended article by article review of the vaguely worded ECFA would reveal to our citizens just how much the pact has compromised "the people's interests" and denigrated "Taiwan's dignity.""
On le sait bien que pour le KMT, la démocratie est une gène à balayer.  

En tout cas, à les voir, on peut imaginer une guerre civile un jour.

Avec peut-être la violence de : 艋舺 / MONGA - from YouTube

Et pour le centenaire, alors, que faire ?

Le centenaire de la ROC arrive donc ...

Dans cet article :

Taipei Times écrivait :

  • [...] if a cross-strait economic cooperation framework agreement (ECFA) is signed, Taiwan will move even faster toward China. The 100th anniversary of the ROC’s founding may well be its farewell.
Et si l'ECFA, c'était le cadeau de la ROC à la RPC ?

En tout cas, l'anniversaire de la ROC n'est pas donné pour tous : 

 Ce sont des bugs de cent ans, et la note promet d'être salée.
