說實在,真的很久沒寫網誌了
久而久之不寫也已經變成常態
沒有網路的我似乎早已將寫日記拋在腦後
今天的最大新聞就是傳出要斷交
我也沒辦法說太多
反正就是:大家都是在玩遊戲,人人都是魔術師,手心裡的東西觀眾是看不到的。

Malawi President Bingu wa Mutharika has sanctioned severing diplomatic relations with Taiwan in favour of the People’s Republic of China which has established a strong foothold in the southern African countries, cabinet sources have revealed.

Two of Mutharika’s senior cabinet ministers – Minister of Presidential and Parliamentary Affairs, Davis Katsonga and Minister of Energy and Mining, Henry Chimunthu Banda – accompanied by two senior officials from the Foreign Affairs Ministry leave Malawi on Monday 24 December via Bangkok (Thailand) to Beijing (China) to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) paving way for the full establishment of diplomatic missions between the two countries.

"Malawi is terminating diplomatic relations with the Republic of China (Taiwan). Government through cabinet approval feels it's high time that Malawi recognises one-China policy, after all they are there in Zimbabwe, Zambia, Tanzania and Mozambique who boarders us," said the cabinet source.

Cabinet in 2004 passed a resolution to end relations with Taiwan whose support in Africa has melted to only five in the continent and 24 in the world. But the decision was shelved when Taiwan quickly invited Mutharika to Taipei where he received a windfall of US$1 million plus material support for his Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) named after the Taiwan’s governing party.

President Mutharika declared recently that the country would not abandon Taiwan for China.

"We have received numerous assistance from Taiwan and we will maintain the diplomatic relations between us and Taiwan," Mutharika is on record saying while snubbing comparison between Beijing and Taiwan.

However, Mutharika in a change of heart and his cabinet resolved to switch diplomatic ties from Taipei to Beijing.

The decision comes amidst diplomatic gaffe when Malawi ambassador was forced to doff his jacket during a security check before attending a function by President Chen Shui-bian.
