The American Institute in Taiwan said on Wednesday that the U.S. government does not take a position
on the party assets issue, refuting a Kuomintang official’s claim that the U.S. Department of State had criticized the Democratic Progressive Party government’ way of handling the issue.
KMT Central Policy Committee director Alex Tsai made a presentation on the results of his recent visit to the U.S. during a KMT Central Standing Committee meeting on Wednesday afternoon. He told the committee that the U.S. Department of State voluntarily mentioned that the DPP has apparently ignored court rulings in its handling of the party assets issue, which obviously deviates from normal behavior of a democratic country.
However, AIT spokesperson Sonia Urbom said the U.S. does not take a position on the party assets issue and that Alex Tsai’s comments on this issue are inaccurate. [FULL STORY]
