Class Discussion Due to international reality
and the reason of China, it is pretty difficult
for Taiwan to join many international
organisations, do you agree that Taiwan should
continue to spend money and time to join these
organisations? Or do you have any methods to
resolve this problem, for example, just being
isolated from the world, or what? Please discuss
with your friends and express your views and
opinions!
