("石明凯认为，台湾在选择放弃、继续等待或自行研制三个途径中，自行制造潜舰的可能性比较高，同时也不缺乏来自国际间的专业协助力量和意愿")

My comment: I disagree that a submarine is offensive. In any way, Taiwan has four, two of which were of post-World War II Guppy-class.

(基辛格中美关系研究所所长、曾任美国驻华大使的芮效俭说：中国“把关注的焦点完全放在对台军售这一个问题上，以此向中国人民来表述台湾问题，这样的表述方式准确吗？作为一个长期关注中国事务的人，我认为，这样的表述方式是不准确的")

Note:
(a) 嘉乐比总督大桥  Ponte Governador Nobre de Carvalho

(i) The nouns ponte and carvalho are Portugese for bridge and oak tree, respectively.
(ii) See the map in section 3 Geography of
Macau

(b) 葡萄牙科英布拉大学  University of Coimbra

(public; in Coimbra, Portugal; Established in 1290, it is one of the oldest universities in continuous operation in the world)

(section 1 Forum for Economic & Trade Cooperation between China and Lusophone Countries)

(i) For Lusophone, see luso- (Portuguese, from lusitano Portuguese, from Latin Lusitanus of Lusitania (ancient region corresponding approximately to modern Portugal))

(d) 圣多美和普林西比民主共和国  Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A3o_Tom%C3%A9_and_Pr%C3%ADncipe
(The dates of discovery are sometimes given as December 21 (St Thomas's Day), 1471 for São Tomé, and January 17 (St Anthony's Day), 1472 for Príncipe,[3] though other sources give different nearby years. Príncipe was initially named Santo Antão ("Saint Anthony"), changing its name in 1502 to Ilha do Príncipe ("Prince's Island"), in reference to the Prince of Portugal to whom duties on the island's sugar crop were paid)

São Tomé and Príncipe is a diplomatic ally of Taiwan. See
Vasco Martin, Aid for Legitimacy: São Tomé and Príncipe hand in hand with Taiwan. IPRIS Viewpoints, February 2011, where IPRIS stands for Portugese Institute of International Relations and Security, based in Lisboa, Portugal
www.ipris.org/php/download.php?fid=376
("in 1997 São Tomé and Príncipe recognized not only Taiwan’s sovereignty as a state, but also its territorial claims in the People’s Republic of China, Mongolia, the small Russian republic of Tuva and other pieces of land administrated by several states in the region.")

(i) Tuva  图瓦 共和国
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuva
(section 2 History: The Soviet Union annexed Tuva outright in 1944)
(ii) History of Tuva
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Tuva
(The name "Tuva" probably derives from a Samoyedic tribe, referred to in 7th-century Chinese sources as Dubo or Tupo, which lived in the upper Yenisei region. These people were known to the Chinese and Mongolians as Uriankhai.)

I can not find Chinese translation for those supposedly Chinese terms.
(iii) To say Pres Lee Teng-hui was or is pro-Taiwan independence is ludicruous.

("美国国会的美中经济与安全审查委员会在其2011年度报告的最终草案中称，在2007年和2008年，美国政府的两颗卫星先后4次遭到了电脑黑客的攻击。报告称，这两颗美国卫星主要用于地球气候和地形侦查。其中，被入侵的'Landsat-7'地球观测卫星系统在2007年10月和2008年7月份别遭到了12分钟甚至更长时间的攻击，而'Terra AM-1'地球观测卫星在2008年6月和10月也遭到2次攻击，时间分别是2分钟和9分钟")
