UN should take action to de-escalate tensions not only across Taiwan Strait but also in South China Sea Guahan Global Foundation recently noticed that op-ed articles written by Taiwan Foreign Minister Chia-lung Lin and Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Guam Director General Chia-ping Liu were published in newspapers in Guam and Northern Mariana Islands. We agree that all attempts to distort United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758 must be stopped. We also urge the UN to take action to de-escalate tensions not only across Taiwan Strait but also in South China Sea. The United States is now celebrating the 45th anniversary of the enactment of Taiwan Relations Act. U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Jeff Merkley (D-OR) therefore introduced a resolution in the U.S. Senate in April to recognize the deep and dynamic U.S. – Taiwan partnership. The resolution has also mentioned that the UN General Assembly passed Resolution 2758 in 1971, which did not address Taiwan’s political status or the issue of Taiwan’s representation in the UN. However, the People’s Republic of China continues to falsely assert that UNGA Resolution 2758 ‘‘resolved, politically, legally and procedurally, the issue of the representation of the whole of China, including Taiwan, in the United Nations and international institutions.” During a discussion at the German Marshall Fund at the end of April, U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs Mark Lambert actually said the world needs to oppose China’s distortion of UNGA Resolution 2758, which wrongly justifies China’s claim over Taiwan. US Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell also criticized during a US House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing last week that China is using UNGA Resolution 2758 “to make the argument that somehow Taiwan’s status is illegitimate.” We want to point out that “One China Policy” is only existing on paper. Taiwan is never being part of the PRC. We can tell China’s action is seeking to unilaterally change the Taiwan Strait status quo. It is going to gravely threaten stability and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region. We also want to remind the world that PRC’s expansionism is very true. Beijing is not only using the distortion of UNGA Resolution 2758 trying to create false narrative across Taiwan Strait. It is also encroaching Philippines’ lawful rights in the South China Sea. The ongoing maritime dispute between China and the Philippines has been continuously escalating over the years with more vessel collisions, scuffles, and allegations of armed threats. Filipino fishermen were often treated with China’s water cannons. The incidents of “big vessels versus small vessels” frequently resulted in injuries while fishing with a small boat is usually the only way many Filipino families support their living. However, it is worth noticing China’s influence in economy is still bringing some countries the difficulty to make their choice between economy and national security. Much like the Philippines, the Federated States of Micronesia, where an embassy of the PRC is established, is struggling with this issue, too. The UN Charter clearly states that the purpose and the principles of the UN are to maintain international peace and security. International disputes should be resolved by peaceful means. While the 79th session of the UN General Assembly is taking place now in New York, we call on the UN to reject the wrong interpretation of UNGA Resolution 2758 over Taiwan. We also urge the UN to take action to de-escalate tensions in South China Sea.

Home ﹥ News > News > * Tzuyu CHOU Case Related to Teen Abuse

(Jan. 18, 2016)

We, HSVG mission, noticed from the news that South Korea's JYP Entertainment had TWICE member Tzuyu CHOU, aged 16 only, apologize for holding a flag of Taiwan, where she is originally from, after causing boycotts from China. In the apology video JYP Entertainment released at YouTube, Tzuyu CHOU looked extremely tired and somber. We highly suspect that this case is related to teen abuse, or, more precisely, emotional abuse. We have asked JYP Entertainment to correct its inappropriate supervision on Tzuyu CHOU and provide Tzuyu CHOU with adequate care of mental health immediately.

We have also sent messages to Mr. Minister Chin-youb CHUNG of South Korea's Ministry of Health and Welfare requesting the Ministry monitor if JYP Entertainment takes any improvement action on Tzuyu CHOU case and investigate the health and welfare status of Tzuyu CHOU from 2012 to the present since she started the training with JYP Entertainemnt when she was 13.

A message sent to Mr. Minister Been-huang CHIANG of Taiwan's Ministry of Health and Welfare requests the Minitry collaborate with its South Korea's counterpart to ensure JYP Entertainment's improvement actions and take good care of Tzuyu CHOU's emotional needs. In addition, we also remind Taiwan to investigate if Tzuyu CHOU's parents are violating Taiwan's child & teen welfare laws because we learn that she left Taiwan and started JYP Entertainemnt's training in South Korea when she was 13 only.

Emotional abuse is the emotional maltreatment of a child/teen, causing severe and adverse effects on child's/teen's emotional development. Examples of emotional abuse include: conveying to a child/teen that they are valued only when they meet the needs of another person; not giving the child/teen opportunities to express their views; interactions beyond a child's/teen's developmental capability. Researches show emotionally abused and neglected teens did express more internalizing features, such as being withdrawn, anxious, depressed, angry, experiencing post-traumatic stress symptoms, or sexual concerns than teens who had not maltreated. And they were three times more likely to express suicide ideation than teens at risk of other types of abuse or neglect.
