US Presses Taiwan to Drop Referendum Plan3月に予定されている総統選挙に合わせて、台湾の国連加盟申請を国民投票にかけようとの陳総統の提案は、国連総会における必要な賛成票をとりまとめる事すら出来そうになく、単に台湾の総統選挙の政争の材料に使われている感が強いのですが、米国が改めて強く異を唱えたことは、国民投票そのものの実現性が遠のいた様子。By David Gollust
State Department
28 August 2007The United States has again called for Taiwanese President Chen Shui-bian to drop plans to hold a referendum on whether the island should apply for U.N. membership under the name Taiwan. VOA's David Gollust reports from the State Department that Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte says such a move would be a mistake.
The Bush administration is stepping up pressure on Mr. Chen to drop the referendum plan, with Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte calling it mistaken. He urged the island's leadership to, as he put it, behave in a responsible manner.
The Taiwanese leader has proposed holding the referendum on U.N. membership concurrently with a presidential election set for March.
