undependence of Taiwan

Created by M.L. on May 19, 2013

we petition the obama administration to:
Provide necessary assistance to prevent Taiwanese people from being murdered by Philippines and rebuild friendship.
Dear Mr. President,

As we know, Taiwan is an ally who shares the same values with us. It is sad to hear that a 65-years-old unarmed Taiwanese fisherman was killed by Philippine coastguard on May 9th. 51 bullet holes were found.

Many Taiwanese people were convinced by Philippines that the Obama Administration will connive at this brutal shooting attack. The signal from Philippines is forcing Taiwanese move to the other end of the balance. The situation is severe and may harm the interests of the United States.

This is a tough situation, but the bottom-line is crystal clear; firing on unarmed fisherman's boat is not allowed.
