A HOUSE RESOLUTION
AFFIRMING THE BELIEF THAT THIS STATE'S ON-GOING
COMMERCIAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PEOPLE OF THE
REPUBLIC OF CHINA ON TAIWAN SHOULD BE
RECOGNIZED AS SERVING THE MUTUAL INTERESTS OF
SOUTH CAROLINIANS AND THE PEOPLE OF THE
REPUBLIC OF CHINA ON TAIWAN IN AN EQUITABLE AND
RECIPROCAL MANNER, THAT THE RECORD OF THE
REPUBLIC OF CHINA ON TAIWAN CONCERNING HER
DEMOCRATIZATION AT HOME AND HER HUMANITARIAN
SERVICE ABROAD BE ACCORDED APPROPRIATE
RECOGNITION BY THE PEOPLE OF THIS STATE, AND
THAT DUE CONSIDERATION SHOULD BE GIVEN BY THE
UNITED STATES TO THE READINESS OF THE REPUBLIC
OF CHINA ON TAIWAN FOR THE LATTER'S FURTHER
CONTRIBUTIONS TO AND BROADER PARTICIPATION IN
THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY, INCLUDING FORUMS
SUCH AS MULTILATERAL TRADE ASSOCIATIONS,
HUMANITARIAN RELIEF ORGANIZATIONS, AND THE
UNITED NATIONS.
Whereas, the people of the State of South Carolina enjoy a sister
state relationship with the people of the Republic of China on
Taiwan; and
Whereas, commercial interaction with the Republic of China on
Taiwan has grown substantially in recent years to the benefit of our
State; and
Whereas, a democratic, multi-party political system has been
smoothly established in the Republic of China on Taiwan in recent
years; and
Whereas, the direct role of the Republic of China on Taiwan in
international development programs and humanitarian relief
operations has expanded significantly during the past decade, often
in close coordination with our nation's own such efforts; and
Whereas, seven Central American countries have proposed to the
Secretary General of the United Nations that a supplementary item
be included in the provisional agenda of the 48th General Assembly
session to consider the exceptional situation of the Republic of
China on Taiwan in the international community, based on the
principle of universality and in accordance with the established
pattern of parallel representation by divided countries in the United
Nations. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina,
by this resolution, strongly believes that this State's on-going
commercial relationship with the people of the Republic of China
on Taiwan should be recognized as serving our mutual interests in
an equitable and reciprocal manner; that the record of the Republic
of China on Taiwan concerning her democratization at home and
her humanitarian service abroad be accorded appropriate recognition
by the people of this State; and that due consideration should be
given by the United States to the readiness of the Republic of China
on Taiwan for the latter's further contributions to and broader
participation in the international community, including forums such
as multilateral trade associations, humanitarian relief organizations,
and the United Nations.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to
the appropriate representative of the Republic of China on Taiwan.
