台灣星期三在年度“雙十節”國慶遊行中，10多年來首次展示自己的軍事力量，同時，台灣總統陳水扁猛烈抨擊台灣最大的近鄰和對手中國大陸。陳水扁在講話中，再次承諾將推動台灣加入聯合國的行動，並強調台灣與中國的不同特性。
陳水扁還爭辯說，台灣不是與中國關繫緊張的源頭。他說，問題所在是北京的極權、威權和獨裁。
在慶典中，台灣展示了自己製造以及美國提供的導彈的發射裝置，同時F-16戰鬥機在慶典上空飛過。 台灣和中國在1949年內戰結束期間分治。北京宣稱這個自治島嶼是其領土的一部份。 |

Taiwan put its military prowess on display for the first time in more than a decade Wednesday in its annual National Day parade, as President Chen Shui-bian lashed out at the island's biggest neighbor and rival, China. In his address, Mr. Chen renewed his pledge to push for Taiwan's membership in the United Nations, and stressed the island's separate identity from China.
He also argued that Taiwan was not the source of tensions with China. He said the problem was Beijing's totalitarianism, authoritarianism, and dictatorship.
Taiwan paraded launchers for local and U.S.-supplied missiles at the celebration as F-16 fighter jets streaked across the sky. Taiwan and China split during civil war in 1949 and Beijing claims the self-ruled island is part of its own territory. |

| 流亡藏人衝擊中國駐印使館 (Tibetan Exiles Storm Chinese Embassy in India) |
|

20多名流亡的西藏人星期三衝進了中國駐印度大使館，抗議北京加強對西藏的限制。這些流亡者闖進新德里中國大使館的前門。一些人把他們自己綁在大門上或是使館的旗桿上，另一些人則用紅色油漆在使館的大門和墻上寫下“西藏獨立”的字樣。
示威者後來被印度警察強行帶離。這些人在抗議北京最近的一個命令，即要求所有西藏精神領袖的轉世，包括達賴喇嘛和班禪喇嘛在內，都必須得到政府的批准。 目前的達賴喇嘛自1959年反對中國的共產黨軍隊的起義失敗後，一直流亡在外。 |

More than 20 Tibetan exiles have stormed the Chinese embassy in India Wednesday to protest Beijing's tightening restrictions on their homeland. The exiles pushed their way through the front gate of the embassy in New Delhi. Some chained themselves to the gate or embassy flag pole. Others wrote slogans such as "Free Tibet" in red paint across the main gate and embassy walls.
The demonstrators were later forcibly removed by Indian police. The group was protesting a recent Chinese order that the government must approve all reincarnations of Tibetan spiritual leaders, including the Dalai Lama and Panchen Lama. The current Dalai Lama has been in exile since 1959, after a failed uprising against Chinese communist forces. |
