2002 State Republican Party Platform

  Republican Party of Texas has held a State Convention 
in Dallas, Texas on June 7 & 8 and I was a elected State 
Delegate.  The Platform has adopted a strong statement 
concerning Taiwan, China and Foreign Policy as follows:

  Taiwan - The Party recognizes Taiwan as a long-time ally 
of the United States and as an independent and sovereign 
nation.  In order to support its self-defense, we call upon 
Congress to support the "Taiwan Security Enhancement Act." 

  China - The Party strongly recommends the removal of 
Communist China's "most Favored Nation" status, now called 
"permanent normal trade relations," until such time when:


  1) there is a formal peace treaty between North and 
     South Korea;
  2) there is significant improvement in their government 
     policies on human rights;
  3) there is freedom of religion;
  4) China ceases its aggressive behavior toward its 
     neighbors;
  5) China ceases transferring nuclear, biological, and 
     chemical technology to Iran, Pakistan, and North 
     Korea, etc., and
  6) China ceases to occupy a position along the Panama 
     Canal in any fashion.

  We further urge the imposition of trade sanctions against 
communist China for interfering in United States political 
campaigns. 

  Foreign Policy - The party supports the spread of a 
representative form of government and a free market 
enterprise.  We also support and encourage private 
humanitarian aid to developing countries.  The Party 
supports the continued favorable treatment of proven 
allies such as Taiwan and Israel, and the censure of 
adversaries like the "Axis of Evil" countries and groups 
that seek the destruction of other countries or harbor 
terrorists.  However, we oppose the unlimited export 
of our public monies.
