PRESIDENT OF TAIWAN VISITS BELIZE

By Ray Auxillou, May, 2009

President of Taiwan is visiting Belize and takes up most of the old Fort George Hotel, now called the Radisson Hotel. Supposed to be a security entourage of 60 persons or so. Plus several hundred in the party for this state visit. Taiwan has been for the past 20 years, the best friend of Belize and the best foreign aid assistance provider for development.
Taiwan is a FIRST WORLD COUNTRY, unlike the USA which has slipped into SECOND WORLD STATUS with huge debts in the TRILLIONS upon TRILLIONS. Taiwan by comparison, has + $350 BILLION usa in foreign reserves. Belize has nothing in foreign reserves by comparison and a debt of over a BILLION usa.
Mainland China has re-approached with TAIWAN and while they remain separate political entities, their economies are joining. Taiwan has about 22 countries that support their independent political aspirations and Belize is one of them, a very strong supporter of TAIWAN, with which we identify as a small country.
The airplane for the Presidential party from TAIWAN looks similar to the USA Air Force One. Big fancy airplane.
Taiwan has something to teach us. This is that manufacturing is fiscally rewarding. At the moment the population of Belize is still small and very young. This is changing rapidly and the hope is; that various training and visitation visits to Taiwan will give many ideas to a new generation of young Belizeans in entrepreneurship for light manufacturing ideas. We are going to make more money from light manufacturing than from agriculture in the economy of Belize as our population grows.
