lpv:spoken text	"This report criticises the human rights situation in China, but it might also have mentioned the human rights situation in Taiwan, which is exemplary. Taiwan’s prosperous democracy, strengthened by constitutional protections and the rule of law, stands in stark contrast to the totalitarian communist dictatorship in China I echo the report’s words about the improvement in cross-straits relations. President Ma Ying-jeou is to be congratulated for bringing this about. The CFSP is inevitably limited in scope while it remains subject to national veto. Nevertheless, I welcome the Council’s recent expression of support for Taiwan’s meaningful participation in international organisations. I hope the Council and the other institutions will endorse Taiwan’s ambition to be admitted as an observer to the World Health Assembly. It is morally wrong for Taiwan to be excluded from a public health forum simply as a result of pressure from China. I therefore voted to approve this report."@en1
