lpv:translated text	"Security in the Far East is of crucial importance, particularly for those people who suffer from the lack of security in the region on a daily basis. I ask the House to imagine how it must feel to be a citizen of North Korea, condemned to endure the whims of Communist rulers; how it must feel to live in Taiwan, and to go about one’s daily life in the face of anti-secession efforts by the People’s Republic of China; or how it must feel to be a Tibetan, and to have become part of a minority in one’s own country. It is our duty to provide support to those in danger. The ‘One China’ policy is only acceptable so long as it does not involve violating the Taiwanese people’s right to self-determination, and Taiwanese citizens must not suffer from its enforcement. The People’s Republic of China may be an economic tiger, but in democratic terms it is unfortunately anything but. The principle of territorial integrity would be easier to apply if the country were a democratic state under the rule of law. Until the People’s Republic of China improves its human rights record, however, any pressure brought to bear by it on Taiwan will be unacceptable. Europe has succeeded in overcoming the political effects of the Cold War, whereas Asia has not managed to overcome the political, economic and social effects of a real war, namely the Korean War. It is debatable whether or not North Korea lost this war, but there can be no doubt that ordinary people did. These people are entitled to lead a normal life, instead of living in an open-air museum of Communist totalitarianism."@en1
