並 "删除了'人民入出境，应向警政署入出境管理局申请许可；未经许可者，不得入出境'

"台湾民主共产党的电话有人接，说是该党的负责人陈天福在上海从事两岸统一工作。陈天福是陈水扁的堂弟。而中华民国共产党负责人吕宝尧说，当初成立这个党之前，陈天福等人说大陆方面会给经费，成立以后才了解根本没有补助，他们由于缺钱而冻结了这个党。

My comment: The report says "这个 [立法院] 修正案有待总统宣布后生效,"  There is no check-and-balance mechanism in the constitution of Republic of China; president can not veto budgets or bills of Legislature. So the bill is final.

(b) Open Skies

Please click two tags:
(i) "Full List of Open Skies Partners"
, which shows Partner  14 Taiwan, Date Concluded  2/28/97)

The number "14" alludes to Taiwan being the fourteenth partner, in chronological order.

(ii) "Select a letter below to see all countries beginning with that letter."
, where T does not include Taiwan (not is Taiwan categorized in C, as Republic of China or Chinese Taipei, say).

(TSMC "has pushed back against claims by market researchers at Gartner Inc that foundries are having problems with yield on 28-nm process technologies")

My comment: The Gartner report said chip makers had problems with 28-nm process, but did not mention TSMC by name.
