Taiwan's Benefits In Accepting The Vietnamese Refugees
Our government has spent large sums of funds in establishing
foreign relations. By rendering economic assistance to other
nations, it solicited their diplomatic relations with Taiwan. This
seemed like bribery; it was mocked as "money diplomacy" or "idiotic
diplomacy". Taiwan's ignominy has been known throughout the world,
such as piracy, counterfeit products, killing of tigers and
rhinoceros etc. This poor reputation has cost Taiwan its ability
to elevate it's position within the international community.
Today, the Vietnamese refugees in Hong Kong are being treated
inhumanely; their difficult life or being without funds for living,
and having no country that will take them in. Under this
situation, if the Taiwan government declared to accept the
Vietnamese refugees, the world would be shocked and Taiwan's
prestige and status in the international arena would be greatly
boosted. Besides, there are other benefits as listed below:
- The Vietnamese refugees are the best foreign labour force. The
refugees when given a new life will be very grateful. Compared to
the foreign labourer who came to Taiwan purely for "personal
benefit", the refugees would work harder and contribute more to the
society.
- The Vietnamese refugees can be the pioneer workers in the
relocation of business properties to foreign countries. Taiwan has
about ten billion U.S. dollars invested in the Asian Pacific
region, and it has contracts with thirty one countries on
technology cooperation. Most of the refugees speak foreign
languages, they work hard, and many of them are professionals.
They will serve well as pioneer workers for the companies
relocating their business' abroad.
- Accepting the Vietnamese refugees is the best way to gain
acceptance into the United Nations. The Vietnamese refugee issue
is a problem which has caused the most headache for the United
Nations and so far still has no resolution yet. If Taiwan accepts
the refugees, it means that it will have solved the toughest
problem for and relieved the responsibility from the United
Nations. Therefore, when Taiwan applies to enter the United
Nations, it definitely will receive support and help from more of
the member nations members.
Our government would only need to approve the acceptance of
the Vietnamese refugees. All other matters such as economic
support, job training, emotional counselling...etc. Will be taken
care of by The International Supreme Master Ching Hai Meditation

Taiwan will receive the most benefit and reward by accepting
the Vietnamese refugees!
Today, if you were the ones being locked up and suffering in
the refugee camp, wouldn't you long for someone to rescue you? The
refugees were being intentionally disgraced as riotous and have
received much unfair treatment. But they have nowhere to present
their grievances and to call for help. Saving a life is worth a
million good deeds. The refugees are now at the end of the rope.
They are prepared to die at any moment to resist forced
repatriation. We implore all of you the honourable and
compassionate people to please help them voice their grievances.
