Reuters: Taiwan offers South China Sea peace plan
Taiwan proposed a peace initiative on Tuesday to resolve territorial disputes in the South China Sea that it says will reduce tensions that have put Beijing at odds with its neighbors and the United States.
The South China Sea Peace Initiative announced by President Ma Ying-jeou called on claimants to temporarily shelve their disagreements to enable negotiations on sharing resources.
Ma's plan is similar to a 2012 proposal for the East China Sea, which allowed Taiwan and Japan to jointly fish in the contested waters.
WNU Editor: The Taiwanese President wants to share .... but when I talk to my Chinese contacts and friends .... they talk about protecting their sovereignty .... and when I talk about sharing the resources South China Sea .... I get a bunch of guffaws.
