Viewing cable 08WELLINGTON77, NEW ZEALAND IN STEP WITH USG VIEWS ON TAIWANESE

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

(C)  In a January 28 conversation with Ministry of Foreign 
Affairs and Trade (MFAT) Northeast Asia Director David 
Taylor, A/DCM reviewed reftel points regarding Taiwan. 
Taylor responded that much of the USG argument "could have 
been drafted by our people."  The GNZ, he said, shares the 
view that it is inappropriate to lock Taiwan out of processed 
where there is wider benefit to its participation, and the 
MFAT official cited the OIE and the WHO as two additional 
examples.
