Whether there is one China or two should be left to the people of Taiwan to determine. Despite these developments. however. the Taiwanese Government continues to maintain a blacklist of certain Taiwanese living abroad. The Taiwanese on this blacklist. many of whom are American citizens. including government officials. are almost always refused visas to return to their homeland because they advocate selfdetermination in Taiwan. They have been excluded from visiting the country of their birth or of their ancestors. even for the purpose of attending family reunions. weddings. and funerals. A country that wants free trade. that depends on open trade for its wellbeing must also be open to the free exchange of people and. with them. ideas.
