Taipei, April 10 (CNA) New U.S. guidelines expanding official contacts with Taiwan may be a positive step, but Taiwan should still try to break down limits on bilateral interactions that stem from Washington s one-China policy, foreign affairs analysts in Taiwan said Saturday.
In a statement Friday, the U.S. State Department announced that it had issued new guidelines to liberalize government contacts with Taiwan, which it said aimed to encourage engagement.that reflects our deepening unofficial relationship.
Though they were not made public, the guidelines will reportedly allow U.S. officials to meet with their Taiwan counterparts in U.S. federal buildings and at Taiwan s representative offices in the U.S., but prohibit them from attending celebrations of Double Ten National Day and other Taiwanese holidays.
