So a friend of mine sent me this, ” Ozzy Osbourne to help Taiwan in U.N. membership quest.” Apparently Ozzy Osbourne is helping to back a Taiwanese band, ChthoniC, and their tour in the United States:
Ozzy Osbourne, a satanic-theme rocker known for biting heads off bats on stage, is helping set up 20 of the U.S. gigs, paying some transport costs and letting the Taiwan band promote U.N. membership as it wishes, Lim said. He said the band hooked up with Osbourne through personal connections.
As you may or may not know, since the United Nations has switched China’s representation from the Republic of China (Taiwan) to the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in 1971, China has blocked Taiwan’s application to the United Nations because China believes this self-ruled, self-elected representative democracy is a rogue separate state and a part of China. To learn more, I would recommend reading about the “One China Policy.”
The band is partly supported by the Taiwan government, which is providing pro-U.N. literature and a slogan-painted truck. The band will also be visiting Canada, Germany, and Britain, touring a total of 80 cities.
