TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — The Taiwanese people learned on Monday (Oct. 19) from a foreign media outlet, Asia Pacific Report, of an assault on one of our own diplomats in Fiji by two Chinese counterparts.

The assault was not mentioned in the press release issued earlier this month by our representative office in the South Pacific nation following a National Day celebration event there.

If he did know of the matter earlier, then Wu should take the blame. That Fiji reportedly wanted to keep the matter out of the headlines should be of no consequence.    [FULL  STORY]
