Long live Ma--a son of Hong Kong! Also long live KMT!

By contrast, the so-called native Taiwanese—about 70% of the population—have a generally favorable view of Japan, despite Japan’s colonial occupation of the island between 1895 and 1945.

Weasel words detected. Might I ask what the Associated Press is implying?

I'm sure Ma will figure it out. He may be for better relations with mainland China but I'm sure he's not for reunification under the PRC.

I'm fading fast and in a rhapsodic mood, so here goes: "Don't cry for me Chinese people!" Bow, exit stage left!

Negativity towards the Taiwanese

If any Taiwanese should think that their current economic and legal infrastructure is based on purely indigenous roots not owing to Japan's pernicious imperialist agenda, they are more foolish.

If any Taiwanese should think that their current economic and legal infrastructure is based on purely indigenous roots not owing to Japan's pernicious imperialist agenda, they are foolish to the extent Japan shouldn't bother supporting their independence. They should ought to support their re-unification with China and experience first hand how benevolent Beijing is.

Any one with any sense would pick who for a friend????

Some one that wants to forcefully take you over by pointing over a thousand missiles at you and continually dares you to make a move, or stick with someone that is actually a true friend?? DUH!

But with Ma and the KNT,,, who knows what is in their heads??? Who was that that went to China got on his knees and kissed he ground??? KMT party chairman Lien or some idiot like that? That was disgusting now wasn’t it. Eeeeeeeee! Gag throw-up
