Misleading headline distorts point

TO THE DAILY:

I was glad to see my letter March 20 ("China must give Taiwan autonomy"). However, the published title was not right to me and those who sent complaints to me.

The published title suggests that the sovereignty of Taiwan belongs to China. This is of course not what my article intended to say. The sovereignty of Taiwan belongs to the Taiwanese, and Taiwanese have their own right to determine their own future. The right to self-determination is part of human rights that have been internationally recognized.

Therefore, we could not agree with the published title "China must give Taiwan autonomy." Instead, we think Taiwanese have their right to determine their future, no matter what the China government thinks.
