“Taiwan would likely be more apt to help because they know what it’s like to hurt,” says Luckett solemnly, bringing the mood of our interview to a more serious conversation.

“No-one’s been nice to Taiwan,” states Chandrachood when asked what he wanted to make sure made it into the article. Taiwan not only suggests this resolution to take a step forward to complete independence from China because they want to gain more allies and gain neutrality with China but to stop the unfair treatment they are and have always received from its ruling country. “If it’s not passed this year, whoever has Taiwan next year has to do a similar resolution. This problem has to be solved and this resolution is a perfect solution,” urges Hardin. The sponsors of Resolution #65 say that they are proposing the resolution although its similar predecessors were denied because this time, they are shedding a light on the overlooked oppression of the Taiwanese, whereas before, emotional and moral arguments were not thoroughly explained.

“You have to look at people not as world leaders or delegates, but as humans,” says Chandrachood. Taiwan’s situation is unique. It is a plea for independence. It is an offer of friendship. It is a hope for freedom. Just as the KUNA representatives are stressing, the world must embrace its humanity to stop the cycle of oppression. Stay rational, but remain human.
