John Compton of St. Lucia ought to be applauded for his decision to recognise Taiwan and to re-establish ties.

Taiwan, despite her isolation from the United Nations, which she helped to form, offers cooperation and assistance to less fortunate, developing countries all over the world.

Because Red (Communist) China is huge and considered a world power, it has the advantage when small countries are in need, like Grenada was after the passage of Hurricane Ivan in September of 2004.

But we must ask ourselves, does Red China care about the people of these countries? And if we study the history of these countries we will find that China really does not.

Taiwan is a small island - she understands the plight of the small developing islands in the Caribbean, in the Pacific, in Africa, etc. Taiwan has grown from a little country that depended on agriculture to a successful country which has diversified and has been able to help her people over the years.

Taiwan, despite the fact that she gets no aid from the UN, has been able to give readily to poorer countries in times of disaster and need.

Compton is thinking of the people of St. Lucia and should be an example to others, including Grenada.
