Dear Reader,

The ASIAN STUDIES WWW MONITOR
(including all its subsidiary (and/or sister) pages on "coombs.anu.edu.au" server) has permanently ceased its publishing operations on Friday 21st January 2011.

All of the online resources reported here have been thoroughly checked at the time of their listing. However, it is possible that, with the with the passage of time, many of the originally reported materials might have been removed from the Internet, or changed their online address, or varied the scope and quality of their contents.

Fortunately, in several cases it is possible to access many of the older versions of the resources listed in the MONITOR. This can be easily done via the free services of the "The Internet Archive" http://web.archive.org/, a remarkable brainchild of Brewster Kahle, San Francisco, CA.

www.taiwanadvice.com, Taipei, Taiwan

Supplied note:
"This [site, established in 2002, deals with] new research on the truth of Taiwan's international legal position - rcsl and rwh."

Self-description:
"After taking into account all [available evidence], a full statement of Taiwan's current position under international law can be derived. Based on the SFPT [San Francisco Peace Treaty, effective from April 28, 1952 - ed.], the US Constitution, and the Insular Cases of the US Supreme Court, Taiwan can be classified as 'unincorporated territory under USMG [United States Military Government].' This means that Taiwan is an insular area of the United States."
