Taiwan

The Tai Ji Men case is a distressing example of Taiwan’s failure to live up to its democratic promises.

French history proves that countries with democratically elected Parliaments can nonetheless abuse human rights. This is true for Taiwan, too.

Several countries have recognized that democratically elected Parliaments and serious human rights violations may unfortunately coexist.

Several events presented the Tai Ji Men case in connection with one of the world’s largest freedom of religion events.

At one of the largest European gatherings of scholars of religion, academics and dizi discussed the situation in Taiwan.

Scholars and dizi presented papers on different angles of the 25-year-old case at Quebec City’s Université Laval

Could the harmony reigning among Tai Ji Men dizi be the reason bureaucrats persecute it? The answer may lie in a literary myth.

The Tai Ji Men case proves that Taiwan has not implemented yet the human rights covenants it introduced into its domestic law, a written statement says.

The modern study of disasters confirms that even in natural catastrophes the corrupted bureaucrats’ lack of conscience play a destructive role.

“Environment,” as Pope Francis explained in “Laudato Si’,” also includes social institutions, whose technocratic corruption may damage the whole “ecosystem.”
