           SUBJECT:   The 104th National Day of the Republic of China


          SOURCE:    Author

          DIGEST:   This resolution directs the attention of Californians  
          to Double Ten Day, a celebration of Chinese independence, and  
          encourages all to share in the joy and glory of the independence  
          of the Republic of China on Taiwan.

          ANALYSIS:   This resolution makes the following legislative  
          findings:


          1)The 104th National Day of the Republic of China, also known as  
            Double Ten Day, is a celebration of independence from the Qing  
            Dynasty.


          2)The celebration commemorates the successful revolution led by  
            Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, following 10 prior attempts at revolution  
            beginning in 1895.  This successful revolution on October 10,  
            1911, ended 4,000 years of monarchial rule in the founding of  
            the first democratic republic of Asia.


          3)The Republic of China, commonly referred to as Taiwan, and the  
            United States are long-standing friends and allies, both  
            dearly cherishing the commonly shared values of freedom,  
            democracy, and human rights.

                                                                     Page  2





          4)Taiwan established sister-statehood with California in 1984,  
            and is the seventh largest trading partner of California. 


          5)Frequent exchanges, including exchanges at the highest level  
            of government, contribute to broadening the friendship and  
            cooperation between California and Taiwan.


          This resolution directs the attention of Californians to Double  
          Ten Day, a celebration of Chinese independence, and encourages  
          all to share in the joy and glory of the independence of the  
          Republic of China on Taiwan.
