Taipei, Jan. 16 (CNA) Vice President Annette Lu said Friday that the international community should not sacrifice Taiwan to appease the despotic mainland Chinese government.
Lu made the appeal while meeting with a group of university students who are staging a protest campaign that involves "sending Taiwan's clay to the United Nations."
Noting that mainland China has deployed nearly 500 hundred ballistic missiles aimed at Taiwan, Lu said the international community should not remain silent on this threat.
Lu said she is going to launch a "peace and love Taiwan" campaign to let the world understand that the mainland's missile deployment is tantamount to a terrorist-style threat to Taiwan.
She also threw her full support behind the local university students' campaign, saying that she herself has spared no effort to push for Taiwan's entry to the United Nations over the years. "I'll be always with you in pushing for our U.N. bid," she added.
