1.Taiwan's diplomatic policies are viable: Ma
President Ma Ying-jeou says that his diplomatic approach is still viable
despite an African ally's recent severing of ties with Taiwan.
Taiwan terminated diplomatic relations with The Gambia on Monday, after the
Gambian president surprised Taipei by announcing an end to 18 years of formal
ties three days earlier.
The loss of the ally was seen by some as a setback to Ma's "flexible"
diplomatic approach, which includes a tacit diplomatic truce with China under
which the two sides do not try to lure each other's allies through dollar
diplomacy.
Ma says that The Gambia has not switched recognition over to China, which he
says proves that his diplomatic policies over the past five years have been
viable
He also says available evidence indicates that China played no role in the
Gambia's decision.

profile" for the safety of Chang An-wei

husband dead.
