标题Re: [闲聊] Province of China?
时间Sat Nov 6 03:30:15 2010
之前去申请驾照，居然找不到台湾(Taiwan)，
只有 Taiwan, Province of China，
偏偏驾照又不能赌气不要...
一肚子气回家後，我先是直接e-mail负责驾照事务的
Dept of Public Safety (DPS)，相当然尔没有回应...
後来我开始e-mail我们这区的议员，
刚开始得到的回应很唬烂，说他们的系统是跟着联邦系统等等:
[DPS] must follow the federal policy as far as recognition of
foreign entities. I have copied below the information I found
at the U.S. Dept. of State website regarding Taiwan where DPS
referred me. Therefore, until the U.S. Dept. of State changes
their position, the State of Texas cannot change this.
http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/35855.htm
其实他给我的网站顶端分明写着"Official name: Taiwan"，
跟美国愿不愿意支持台湾独立一点关系都没有，於是我不死心回他：
I understand the formal position of the United States. However,
my point is that Taiwan is not a "Province of China." Its
official name is either "Taiwan" or "Republic of China" or even
"Chinese Taipei" as it is in the Olympics. As you can see from
the article you forwarded to me, Taiwan was never referred to
as a "province of China." On the Department of State website,
the official name is listed as "Taiwan." ( Please see:
http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/35855.htm ) Thus if DPS needs
to be in accordance with the U.S. Department of State, I
believe the Department of Public Safety's database (and that
of other State agencies') ought to be updated to change
"Taiwan, Province of China" to its official name "Taiwan."
过了两个礼拜，我收到回信：
I just spoke with a representative from DPS. You will be pleased
(I hope) to know that a request has been submitted to change the
"drop down" menu to read solely Taiwan. My contact indicated
that it may be the first of the year before this change goes
into effect, but your inquiry most definitely caused this change
to be requested. You should receive a response directly from DPS
as well, but I wanted to tell you as soon as possible. Thank you
for taking the matter into your own hands, I commend you for
making the effort to right a wrong.
总之，鼓励大家多多写信去个机关帮台湾正名!

FAQ第一个就是讲台湾，

19F：→ daltuku:了...显然那些理由颇自相矛盾... 11/06 13:11
刚越想越气，写了封信去
[email protected]
主要是说他们根据不承认台湾的UN名称一点也不中立，
若ISO自认中立的话，应该要用台湾也可以接受的名称，
如奥林匹克运动会、WTO、WHA所使用的Chinese Taipei...
(我是想说再怎样也至少不要被叫中国的一省)
有人想看全文e-mail参考的话再传站内信给我吧，
写了有点长，不想扯离板旨太远...
