1. .....Taiwan is a respected partner in technological research, Stark-Watzinger said, adding that global challenges must be faced together with like-minded countries.
Taiwan and Germany share the values of democracy, transparency, openness and freedom, and have already enjoyed many years of cooperation in various technical fields, she said.
Their complementary technological advantages provide plenty of space for further cooperation, she said.
The new STA would pave the way for more extensive cooperation in economic innovation and high-tech research to the benefit of both sides, she added.
Stark-Watzinger is the first German Cabinet minister to visit Taiwan in 26 years, following a visit by then-German minister of economics Gunter Rexrodt in 1997....

2. Like an unfaithful husband who refuses to divorce his wife and marry his mistress because of his dependence on his wealthy wife for his livelihood, Uncle Sam and his allies hypocritically praise "esteemed" Taiwan for its values of democracy, transparency, openness and freedom but are reluctant to sever diplomatic ties with China and recognise Taiwan in return.
China, on the other hand, seems to be at a loss as to what to do next in response to America's economic coercion and playing of Taiwan card except chanting the same old mantra "I absolutely oppose!" Due to China's incoherent foreign policy, the US and its allies become more brazen in "flirting" with Taiwan and hobbling of the Chinese economy. The Chinese leader should realise by now that America and US allies could suffer huge economic losses if they sever diplomatic ties with China. Hence, cutting off diplomatic ties with those rogue states is a powerful weapon at China's disposal. Even if China is reluctant to do so, it should downgrade diplomatic ties by recalling its ambassador from any rogue state and requesting the other side to do the same.
