GV: PRESS CONFERENCE BY ECONOMICS MINISTER WANG CHIH-KANG 0.27 3. CU: (SOUNDBITE) (Mandarin) ECONOMICS MINISTER WANG CHIH-KANG : "Where Taiwan's position is concerned, we are pleased to see them (U.S.-Sino) reach an agreement. Although, according to the basic spirit of WTO, we constantly argue that the entry of Taiwan and other countries into the WTO should be considered as separate cases. However, there is no doubt that the communist government continues to interfere in Taiwan's bid to join WTO, particularly these days." 1.00 4.

CU/GV: (SOUNDBITE) (Mandarin) EXECUTIVE SECRETARY OF CHINESE NATIONAL FEDERATION OF INDUSTRIES, TSAI HORNG-MING SAYING: "About the timing of WTO entry, in my opinion, apart from those political issues, Taiwan provides a market that WTO members need. On the other hand, the members respect the communist government's "One China" principal. But where the "One China" policy interferes in the interest and competitiveness of member countries, I believe they would not allow China to disrupt Taiwan's entry into the WTO. So, it should be possible for both side to enter at virtually the same time."/ CUTAWAY TSAI'S HANDS (3 SHOTS) 2.31 9. SV/CU: VARIOUS OF PRODUCTION LINE OF IT INDUSTRIES (3 SHOTS) 2.47 10.
