My comment:
(a) The conference is held at Cambridge, Maryland.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambridge,_Maryland
There is no formal title for the conference. At least not in English. The
title of my posting--including the lower case--comes from Taipei Times, Oct.
5, 2010.
(b) 楊念祖 Andrew Yang
(c) I have never trusted Chinese-language media of Taiwan. That includes
Taipei Times.
(d) In contrast, the report in Voice of America is mild--almost insipid.*
* insipid (adj; from Late Latin insipidus, from Latin in- + sapidus savory,
from sapere to taste): "lacking taste or savor : TASTELESS <insipid food>"

The most inspiring in the VOA report is "韩儒伯：美最终会售台F-16C/D." As
economist John Maynard Keynes pointed out in 1923, however, "The long run is
a misleading guide to current affairs. In the long run we are all dead."
