Taiwan China Trade Pact Only Economic Arrangement

admin — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 14:08:15 +0000

Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou said on Tuesday the island would move quickly to start talks on free trade agreements with other countries. It comes as he seeks to avoid what he sees as a quote, “fatal” isolation for the 390-billion dollar economy.

Ma told foreign journalists in Taipei that a controversial free-trade deal with China, due to be signed by June, is the first step to making sure Taiwan remains a major economy in East Asia.

China and Taiwan are expected to sign the Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement, or ECFA, that would bring the political rivals closer. It would also open the diplomatically isolated island’s economy to trade pacts around the world.

[Ma Ying-jeou, Taiwanese President]:
“We should not let our diplomatic isolation become economic isolation. So politically, I seek rapprochement with Mainland so that economically, we could have a closer ties with them, giving us the needed benefit. On the other hand, we will also develop similar relations with our major trading partners.”

However, the plan has run into stiff opposition at home amid concerns that it will flood Taiwan with cheap Mainland goods. There are also concerns the deal could be used by Beijing to pursue reuniting Taiwan with the Mainland.

Ma says the ECFA is an economic arrangement, but not a move towards unification with China.

[Ma Ying-jeou, Taiwanese President]:
“So, this is not a first step to an ultimate unification because it has nothing to do with unification, but it has more to do with maintaining the status quo and increasing Taiwan’s national competitiveness.”

Since Ma took office in 2008, he has opened trade links, started direct flights and allowed investment in China by Taiwanese firms. The policies have boosted Taiwan’s financial markets and helped it weather the global financial crisis, but have drawn sharp criticism at home.

Ma said the ECFA deal is part of his policy of engagement, but he would not compromise Taiwan’s sovereignty, and stressed Taiwan can’t have globalization without the Chinese mainland.

The Mothers most lovely question to the bride, the humble answer of the bride to the Mother, and the Mothers useful answer to the bride, and about the improvement of good people among the evil.
Book 1 – Chapter 22 SAINT BRIDGET PATRON SAINT OF EUROPE PART I

The Mother of God spoke to her Sons bride, saying: You are my Sons bride. Tell me what is on your mind and what you are praying for. The bride answered: My Lady, you know it very well, for you know all things. Then the Holy Virgin said: Even though I know all things, I would still like to hear you tell me while those standing here present are listening. The bride said: My Lady, I fear two things: First, for my sins, for which I do not cry and make amends for as I would like. Second, I am sad because your Sons enemies are so many.

Then the Virgin Mary answered: In regard to the first one, I give you three cures: First, think about how all things that have spirit, such as frogs and other animals, have troubles sometimes, and yet their spirits do not live eternally but die with the body. But your soul and every human soul does live forever. Second, think about the mercy of God, because there is no man who is so sinful that his sin is not immediately forgiven, if he only prays for Gods forgiveness with an intention to better himself and with true repentance for his former sins. Third, think and visualize about how great the glory of the soul is when she lives forever with God and in God.

And regarding the second, namely, that the enemies of God are so many, I give you three cures also: First, consider that your God and your Creator and theirs is judge over them, and they will never judge him again, even though he patiently bears their malice for a time. Second, consider that they are the sons of damnation and how heavy and intolerable it will be for them to burn for all eternity in hell. They are like the most wicked servants who will lose the inheritance of the kingdom of Heaven, while the sons will partake of the inheritance. But now maybe you will say: Should not one preach to them? Yes, of course one should preach to them! Consider how good people are often found among the evil, and that the sons of evil sometimes turn away from the good, just like the prodigal son who demanded his inheritance from his father and went away to a faraway kingdom and lived an evil life. But sometimes they are seized by remorse through the preaching and return to the Father, and they are more welcome to him then as if they had never been sinful before. Therefore, one should preach especially to them, because, even though the preacher almost only sees evil people, he, nonetheless, thinks to himself: Perhaps there are some among them who will become the sons of my Lord; I will therefore preach to them. This kind of preacher will receive the greatest reward. Third, consider that the wicked are allowed to live as a trial for the good, so that, if they are sorrowful for the behavior of the wicked, they might be rewarded with the fruit of patience, as you will understand better by the following parable.
