I am the spokesperson of New Power Party, the third largest party in Taiwan.

We believe the government of Sweden is fully aware of the facts followed:
1. Taiwan has never been governed by People's Republic of China.
2. Taiwan is a democratic and liberal country. We elect our own national leader directly and fairly. We share the same values with all the democratic nations, like Sweden does.

The instability of global politics and East Asia region grows along with the rise of China. It's time for all the democratic nations to stand together and do the right thing.

Please consider this, Swedish authorities. This is international bullying!!!! And if the only safe country with a chinese culture that the government cares about human rights, democracy, and liberty of expression dies, it will be hard for all of other countries. It will make a big difference!! It's not just because we are an small island that you can ignore us, ok? Nothing kills Taiwanese people. Sweden, if you put their name on our country, I would be really really disappointed by you and all Taiwanese people and I think you will since have a lot of tourists from Taiwan because they will show their disappointment. I thought you were a well-developed country that cared about human rights? It doesn't seem so when you even think about putting their name on our country! It just make you seem so dumb. Don't suck the dick of China. You will regret!!!

Quote, please remember what China is:
"The Swedish authorities take this "administrative measure" without any regard for what the consequences may be for affected individuals, directly or indirectly serving the interests of the People's Republic of China. The same People's Republic which did not hesitate to kidnap a Swedish citizen in Thailand. The same People's Republic which responded to belated Swedish protests by referring to Sweden as a "laughing-stock". Let us not make ourselves any illusions that this contributes to Sweden's moral standing. It is not this kind of appeasement which makes us particularly proud of our country or of our authorities."

Remove the offensive term "Taiwan, Province in China"

The Swedish Tax Office recently changed its country lists, renaming Taiwan from its official name "Republic of China (Taiwan)" to "Taiwan, Province in China". This is described as a purely administrative measure, to harmonize name standards in Sweden to the international standard ISO 3166.

· What is not mentioned, however, is that this international standard has been forced on Taiwan against its will, although Taiwan has sued to try to get this name altered.

· What is not mentioned either is that this international standard is based on naming practice defined by the United Nations, of which the People's Republic of China is a member, while Taiwan is denied membership, due to pressure from China.

· What is not mentioned is that this offensive naming practice is ONLY directed against Taiwan. It is not part of any consistent or logical ISO naming policy. Hong Kong and Macao are listed in ISO 3166 as "Hong Kong" and "Macao" respectively, despite the fact that they are de facto admininstratively within the current jurisdiction of the People's Republic of China. The same holds for the Åland Islands, Greenland, New Caledonia, Bahamas, the Faroe Islands, Bermuda and many other territories which are listed under their own name despite the fact that they are not independent. It is ONLY Taiwan that is forced to carry the addition "province of China".

· What is not mentioned is that the only reason for this offensive naming practice for Taiwan used by ISO 1366 and the United Nations is China's strategy of marginalizing Taiwan and reducing its international status until no-one notices or cares when it is annexed by the People's Republic of China. China makes no secret of its ambitions of annexing Taiwan.

· What is not mentioned is that the change in naming practice is offensive to a majority of Taiwanese, including Taiwanese citizens resident in Sweden, who will be expected to indicate as their nationality "Taiwan, Province in China", despite the fact that this is a violation of their identity and does not correspond to the nationality stated in their passports.

· What is not mentioned is that the use of the name "Taiwan, Province of China" may cause official mail to Swedish citizens living in Taiwan to be misdirected and lost.

The Swedish authorities take this "administrative measure" without any regard for what the consequences may be for affected individuals, directly or indirectly serving the interests of the People's Republic of China. The same People's Republic which did not hesitate to kidnap a Swedish citizen in Thailand. The same People's Republic which responded to belated Swedish protests by referring to Sweden as a "laughing-stock". Let us not make ourselves any illusions that this contributes to Sweden's moral standing. It is not this kind of appeasement which makes us particularly proud of our country or of our authorities.

Taiwan's cause is our cause. Taiwan is similar to Sweden in many ways, a small country, a progressive and well-functioning democracy. Taiwan is one of the freest societies in Asia, but is constantly under threat from the People's Republic of China across the Taiwan Strait. All Taiwan is asking for is what we take for granted: to be left in peace to preserve their democracy and develop their society according to what is best for the people of the island.

It is high time for Sweden and the West to stand up for this brave little nation which is defiantly defending its democracy and its right of self-determination. It is time for Sweden to make a stance for, not against, democracy, even in East Asia.

We should ask ourselves: who will stand up for us when our turn comes? We should ask ourselves: do we want to be remembered by posterity as those who stood up for Taiwan when it was necessary, or those who willingly collaborated with a superpower for the sake of market shares?

Sweden is perhaps in no position to actively help Taiwan at the moment. But the very least we can do is, once and for all, to refrain from actively taking part in the international bullying of Taiwan and Taiwanese nationals which is conducted, with ever increasing intensity, by China and Chinese interests across the globe.

We therefore appeal to the Swedish authorities to abolish the use in Sweden of the offensive term "Taiwan, province of China".

我在台灣出生，也在這裡生活。
我並不討厭中國，我們曾在他們的歷史中，因此我們有很多相近的地方，但也無法忽略的是我們真的有很多地方都不同，無論是政治開放的風氣與否、說話的語調、海島和大陸的生活文化等這些都全面根深地影響著一個民族。
就像是同樣的生物在地殼移動、海平面上升後所造成地理區隔，在多年演變之後也會變得完全不同，就像這樣，臺灣跟中國在國土上是區隔的，甚至我們在歷史上也是真正被切割過，中國和臺灣的文化確實比起任何國家來說都相近，我們可以是可親的朋友，但是這不代表我們等於同一個國家。
