UNlimited Taiwan is a movement which started in Taiwan (Official name: Republic of China). The goal of this movement is to "emphazie the 'Unlimited' Potential of Taiwan and the Taiwanese people." and to also "highlight 'UN Limited Taiwan', an endeavor to strongly protest how the UN (United Nations) limits Taiwan's full participation as an independent country."

[edit] Statement
"From all over the world Taiwan's bright lights of gifted, creative and dynamic people have emerged from the darkness to provide a sense of inspiration for all. Taiwan's Sparkling lights range from sculptor Ming Chu, to the internationally-acclaimed director Ang Lee, the internationally renowned Cloud Gate Dance troupe, Go world champion Chun-hsun Chou, the Sahara-crossing ultra-marathon runner Kevin Lin, and Major League Baseball players Chien-Ming Wang, Hong-Chih Kuo, and Chin-hui Tsao. Taiwan's creative gifts and energy can not be contained within borders of forced to abide by the restrictions of political deal-making. The 23 million people of Taiwan are living diligently and sensibly, with the wish to freely thrive in this world as equal partners on our shared planet.
For far too long, China's authoritarian government has been greedily eyeing Taiwan to take possession and exploit the island nation. Members of the world community have allowed China to succeed in suppressing Taiwan's international presence in every possible way.
Today, the reality of Taiwan as a nation is being ignored by international policy makers world wide. The rights and wishes of Taiwan's people are coldly disregarded by some of the very international organizations which claim to support the rights of all people as equal members of the international community, free from the shackles of colonialism and servitude."

[edit] Music campaign
In the summer of 2007 Taiwanese melodic black metal band ChthoniC set off on their third tour of North America, playing second stage on that year's Ozzfest as a rotating band, and also performing on off-dates with the years fellow Line-up members Nile and DÅÅTH.
The goal of this tour was to create fans of their (ChthoniC) music, while also creating awareness about the political issues that are happening in Taiwan. During the tour concert goers were able to pick up a free tour itinerary which held information about the dates the band was touring, merchandise, and a statement about the UNlimited Taiwan movement. This tour was also officially funded by the government of Taiwan.
