US denies it knew of ROC flag-raising
FLAG FLAP:Following China’s ‘furious’ response, the State Department said no US government personnel attended the ceremony, and that relations remained unchanged

The raising of the Republic of China’s (ROC) national flag at a New Year’s Day ceremony at Twin Oaks Estate in Washington last week was “not consistent” with US policy, US Department of State spokesperson Jan Psaki said on Monday.
“We did not know about the Jan. 1 flag-raising at Twin Oaks in advance,” she said.
The statement — made in answer to a question at the daily press briefing — came as a surprise.
Representative to the US Shen Lyu-shun (沈呂巡) was quoted following the flag-raising ceremony as saying he had notified the administration of US President Barack Obama in advance and was granted permission to raise the flag as long as it was not widely publicized.
The Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office (TECRO) in Washington referred questions about Psaki’s reaction to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Taipei.
According to earlier reports, Beijing was “furious” about the flag-raising and lodged a formal objection.
It was believed to be the first time that the Taiwanese flag had been raised at Twin Oaks — the residence of the nation’s official representative to the US — since the US switched diplomatic recognition from Taipei to Beijing 36 years ago.
Sources who closely monitor the Taiwan-US relationship told the Taipei Times on Monday they were “very surprised” by the State Department statement because it seemed “inconceivable” that TECRO would raise the flag without US permission.
“Why do it now? It doesn’t make any sense,” one source said.
He said the relationship was so “sensitive” and subject to such tight diplomatic protocols that nothing could be gained and potentially much goodwill could be lost by ignoring the agreed-upon rules.
Psaki said that the US remained fully committed to the “one China” policy, based on the three communiques and the Taiwan Relations Act.
“No US government personnel attended the event in any capacity,” Psaki said.
“Nothing has changed as it relates to our relationship,” she added.
A US reporter asked: “Are you objecting to a private ceremony at which there was — that some people raised the Taiwanese flag?”
“We just said the ceremony is not consistent with our policy. That’s it,” Psaki replied.
The reporter pressed: “Well, so what?”
Psaki said she had been asked for the US position on the flag-raising and was giving that position.
The reporter then asked: “If I raise the flag of Narnia over my house, that’s going to be inconsistent with US policy?”
There was laughter in the press room as Psaki answered: “We may talk about you, but I don’t know if I’ll have a US government comment on it.”
The reporter asked if the US government was involved “in any way, shape or form” in the raising of the Taiwanese flag at Twin Oaks.
“No, we were not,” Psaki said. “We didn’t attend. We didn’t know about it. That’s our specific comment.”
The reporter asked: “Can you not raise the Taiwan flag in the United States? Is that what you’re saying?”
“I don’t have anything more,” Psaki replied.
Finally, she was asked if China had made a protest and she said: “I’d point you to the Chinese on that.”

Dear President Obama:
There is no Merry Christmas and Happy New Year for 23,000,000 Taiwan Slaves on Taiwan!
The Strategic Ambiguity Policy of USA has trapped Formosan in the Modern Slavery names ROC in exile for 70 year long. Formosan lost its soul, identity, languages, culture, dignity and hope etc. It is understood ROC in exile has never owned the sovereignty of Formosa and the Pescadores even a day in the world history. It is unfair to Formosan to keep the Status Quo of Formosan being trapped as the slave of the Chinese Terrorist Armed Group.
There were no evidence of ROC in exile was trusted or authorized to manage Taiwan, yet, Chinese Terrorist political refugee armed groups has committed the war crimes with no statute of limitations, in terms of Formosa Ethnic Cleansing, the 228 Massacre and the Terrorism ruling in the name of ruined ROC in exile and its staled constitution.l
It is time for your honor to change the Status Quo as you changed the status quo with Cuba Republic. Please terminate all systems of ROC in exile, and support Formosan to have [Taiwan Autonomy] as per SFPT of 1952 and TRA of 1979.
It is the only remedy to remove the Chinese Disasters brought to Taiwan by the outsiders of ROC in exile and PRC from Taiwan. It is unfair to asked the 70 year long brain washed Taiwan slaves to stand up and fight against USA plus PRC and ROC in exile. As history tells us the Stockholm Syndrome was created just in a few years of Nazi invasion, and Formosan has been under the Terror for 70 years.
Yours Respectfully,
Tom Chang
