Thinking . . .

I wonder if there's some agency building from which the
"diplomats" or whatsits who do these negotiations are
dispatched?  Or who makes the policy itself?

Then the question is how to "go large" with it.  Maybe pitch
the folks on the Hill who are pushing the various "fair use"
bills right now to make statements in support of a demo? 
That might actually do good work in terms of bringing two
slightly different fights together.  Also would increase the
scope of comprehension on the Hill.

Or the Taiwan Embassy, on the positive side?

Just brainstorming.  I would tend to try to think of various
constituencies and things in motion, create some synergy.

There's sure to be soemthing that could be done with it.
