Many benefits will accrue to the region and the free world with UN membership and full diplomatic relations. Taiwan’s model of industrial growth, with links to Science Parks, distinct from Japan and South Korea, could be adapted to spur economic growth in Vietnam, Indonesia and the Philippines, allowing for a possible Fifth Tiger to emerge. The health care system of Taiwan is one of the world’s best. It serves all, including the very poor, with little out-of-pocket expense. Emerging African countries, beleaguered Middle Eastern states and the US would be well served by such a system. Most important, the PRC’s next phase of economic growth needs to be innovation-centric. Unfettered and open collaboration, including partnerships with Taiwan corporations, will advance the state of innovation in the PRC. In summation, a seat at the UN table for Taiwan leads to numerous benefits for the world at large. Threats to impose a repressive Hong Kong-style Communist superstructure on the Taiwanese, at this stage, will only further discredit the PRC as a respected global leader.
