They hold a ROC passport (as far as I know, it means a "Taiwanese" passport, even though ROC is not equal to Taiwan, again, as far as I know) and they wrote "Stateless Chinese". Quite funny (strange), isn't it? I believe you got my point... Beside, holding a passport is not a proof of nationality. That's a fact everywhere in the world, normally, when the country provides beside the passport an ID card, as for example in Taiwan or... in France. More precisely, Nationality and Passport are two different stories. Most of the people ignore that simple fact. Anyway, your report is (as always) very good. Ma (according his words) is willing to bring human rights at the law level in Taiwan. Will he take care about this subject? This "brokers" way in Taiwan is not more than slavery's stuff. But you know how most of the Taiwanese are thinking about Indonesia, Vietnam... Just name it. So for political reasons, no one tried to handle that... Including the DPP. David,
