  • Taiwan is independent country.China must remove missile target for Taiwan.One China is false propaganda of Chinese Communist Party and they must recognize independence of Taiwan,join to UN and WHO.

  • God bless your heart, I am so sorry, I hope you are feeling better now since he is in jail for life now.

  • theres always alot of ranting going about doing this or that better, but it seems like no one ever takes into account that even a President's power is limited and gridlock is inevitable when you have a congress with majority opposition. Not saying Chen is a good president, quite the contrary... he's been pretty awful. But lets be honest, the opposing side never even gave him a chance from day 1.

  • as lousy as how you look buddy

  • this guy is really pissed off! wut happened!!

  • He's upset at Chen Shui-bian the former president of ROC, who kinda pulled a Bush. He split the country, screwed the economy but most of all he embezzled $490 million Taiwanese dollars. However Mr. Chen Shui-Bian is now in prison for is wrong doing. The only Chinese president to be jailed. Ma Ying-jeou the current president is from the other party the KMT. Now Taiwan as well as Japan are trying to be closer with PRC.

  • china is part of Japan

  • Japan is part of USA

  • 在一个中国原则下,我们什么都能谈。如果事实台独,只有消灭你们­

  • CCP is not Chinese as I am concerned. they are Russian Evil followers.

  • very nice bro. god bless

  • Jack is gutsy. Well done.

  • Jack's comments are echoed by most of the Chinese people - on either side of the Formosa Strait and those overseas.

    Chen and his followers' narrow-minded ways have once again divided the Island along "tribal" lines. The question: "Are you Taiwanese or Mainland Chinese?" has once again stirred up divisive sentiments among the populous because of his selfish motives.

    I'm sure Bian will spend the rest of his life in prison for his shameless greed...still at the taxpayers' expense.

  • They're still going to get the best suite in jail.

  • chen is bad, but communist china is worse. Did chne killed 20 million people in china ?

  • Agree. BUT communist has improve and our friend Chen is not remorseful at all. I will be ashame if caught for embezzelment of money.

  • communist china has not improve-killing so many Tibetans this year & last year. chen in jail-good

  • lanuiiohu is bullsh*t propaganda. No China did not kill Tibetans or 20 million people there is no proof so please go do some research stupid. Also Tibet is China watch?v=6ntNgjr5LPI this doucmentary was from 1947 back when KMT was in power and U.S. specifically showed that Tibet is China's.

  • 6 million dead chinks 1937, so nice ^__^

  • Obvious this cannot be factual as TIbet never even had a population of 20 million, so if 20 million Tibetans were killed that would be every single Tibetan were killed, and then re-killed several times. Currently there are 5.4 million people in Tibet, the highest population count ever. Five times the population of ethnic Tibetans before the communist took over. Infant mortality in Tibet dropped from 430 to 33 per 1000 (still quite high) and literacy rose to 55% up from the 3 %.

  • I'm on your side idiot...

  • I know that idiot... who do you think gave your comments all those thumbs up

  • you are funny

  • There's ONLY one solution for Taiwan/Republic of China...KICK the commies out and take over Mainland. :) Once the commies are out, make sure to destroy every picture of the ugly-fat-uneducated pig of Mao AND ban the simplified Chinese writing.

  • "Dear president, my name is Jack... " :"D :D :D

  • Chen Shui Bian is a HUGE embarrassment. He did nothing for Taiwan, he should be in jail for the money he and his family embezzled. He should never have been given any leadership. Taiwan took a step backwards when he became president.

  • Joining UN is a very important task. I think as a president, he should take actions about that.

  • China is chicken. why doesn't china bully Japan like the way to Taiwan?

  • 扁,这个民族败类。

    Taiwan always a part of China.

    反对台独,台独必定失败。

  • Taiwan is a defacto independent country and is doing way better than China.

  • STOP writing in simplified Chinese. That's a disgrace to the Chinese culture!

  • Shows that the world is too complex for naive thinking decision makers in both the DPP and KMT.

    2 months into the Ma era and already his plans for Taiwan is at the mercy of political planners in Beijing. It looks like President Ma has opened Pandora's box. Taipei is hardly an accurate portrayal of the entire island's wish and aspiration. Even traditionally pan-blue media channels have turned on President Ma. Having travelled abroad is clearly not a requirement for a president.

  • I agree with you very much so on many of the points you bring up but President Chen did not screw up the economy.

    Taiwan is now going through an economic depression regardless of the president. Since the election of president Ma, the stock market plummeted 1300 points.

    Chen's entire reputation was destroyed due to panblue controlled media.

  • china is part of Japan.

  • nice china earthquake. china belong to Japan

  • china is part of Japan.

  • he was beyond lousy...

  • of course not "back 2 china very soon"????

    not very soon

    it is part of china NOW

  • No, it's not. Taiwan is never part of China.

  • go taiwan

  • AMEN!! 陳水扁 and 李登輝, "You suck!"

    馬英九 = 台灣終於有救了.

  • No, it won't.

  • This is not True. This is so sad you think this way. Chinese People works hard to have better life. No one wants wars. It is so sad to see people fighting and hating. I don't know what I can do to resolve the hate in your heart and writing, maybe nothing.

  • This is not True. This is so sad you think this way. Chinese People works hard to have better life. No one wants wars. It is so sad to see people fighting and hating. I don't know what I can do to resolve the hate in your heart and writing, maybe nothing.

  • some good points in the speech, please just speak faster! :)

  • i can do nothing to help u :P

  • Good, 'cause we don't need to, son.

  • Hi Jack. I am from South Africa. I have made Taiwan my home. Taiwan is where the true Chinese culture is till alive and well. I love this country and (more importantly) its people. China could learn so much from you.

  • Japan C-A-N-'-T own China.. where did u get that from? i dont think that Japan would like to have fun with more nuclear bombs..

    Also.. Japan cant invade more country.. They lost in the WW2 so they cant have army..

    In case u dont know.. North Korea have some of those bombs aiming Tokyo ;).. Google it if u dont believe =)

  • yoyoyo hold there.. ur family left China 450 years ago to the now called Taiwan.. well then let me make it clear.. the island u call Taiwan was,is and will For Ever Be part of China..

  • Well lanuiionhuu, ok I understand you're background now, but do you practice CHinese cultulre? DO you speak Mandarin as your primary language, celebrate Chinese New Year and Mid-Autum? I just found calling CHinese "foreinger" is quite rediculous.

  • markfegg, i believe that no matter what U do u are still a part of the history. well if U know this country was a part of china but now not anymore. now we are living seperately away from the mainland and it's a fact. according to our history, if you only know that Taiwanese language is also from china from the people of Xiamen. my ancestor are from china, too. but after all these yr. we are a country with a democratic government. So whoever sits on the presidential position, if the mainland

  • wants to occupy our country there's nothing we can do but to proclaim war. well if we can talk nicely with the mainland maybe we can work this problem out. just like korea, we all know that why there are 2 korean countries, 1 is north and the other is south, just like taiwan and china, there's nothing impossible but just let the KMT negotiate with them coz' nobody wants war at this point of time. so just hope Mr. Ma can discuss and negotiate coz' we're brothers.

  • There's no need to proclaim war to us.. once we want to occupy the so called country.. u ppl are already dead..

    Well if u want to talk nicely with the mainland.. there will be a hope to extend the time to be free for while..

    You dont think that ur gonna be like Korea do u?

    North K. couldnt get South K. back cuz the USA was helping there..but whos gonna help YOU? u will do like Iraq? u see Iraq can do better than u cuz they have suicide bombers.. hahaha.. think about it ;)

  • That is why we need nuclear weapon to deal with the pro-war-lover like you. Hopefully that secret nuclear weapon project is true. Then we can also happily kill you all, one for Shanghai and one for Beijing. I also love to hear you screaming. HATE~~~ HATE~~~ HATE~~~ That's what happen when one side is too extreme, too much hate. Gush Chinese is really junk. I couldn't imagine the world that China is the most powerful. That must be a world of selfish and greed. Think about it, son ^^

  • wow.. u think that China dont have anti-nuclear system? O.o thats pretty sad..

    China is not stupid u know that.. maybe u are too old to understand that.. Daddy..

  • Well you may like to try, son.

  • Your entitled to your opinions. But the KMT won't make Taiwan any better. Ma's now in office and the prices of everything is still goin up. Now chinese tourists are entering Taiwan...Taiwan's environment is already not that good..you think chinese people shitting on our pavements make it better??

  • and you don't.

  • Lanuiiohuu, so what is Taiwan officially called? Republic of China. Wow you mean "Taiwan" is founded by a foreigner ? What a pity then.

  • i am a DDP supporter. But, BUT, i respect people's choice, that is, KMT Ma winning the election, and i wish Ma and KMT all the very best. After all, this is "freedom of choice" & "respect of decision".

    My nationality is Taiwanese.

    My race is Chinese which is NOT my nationality.

  • umm RepublicChina I rarely see people like you~`

    Usually DPP supporters deny their Chinese heritage, and deny the name "Republic of China".

    Interesting case.

  • Stop inbreeding and you won't have anymore CSB.

  • one thing ur right...STOP CREATING WAR~~~IT"S SUCH A SHAME

  • WE ARE BOTH CHINESE AND TAIWANESE

  • many yrs. b4, when president lee is still on the position, the DPP always shouts for independence. then we already gave them the chance , we voted for Mr. chen, but he is a coward dog. people gave him 8 yrs. to declare independence, but he didn't do it. now all he did is to run an administration where all his people do corruption. so what do u think the people will do after all these yr. to believe and give this barking dogs a chance to keep on making a mess in Taiwan. go to hell with the DPP :P

  • mr. chen is just a shit in the Taiwan's presidential history. a disgrace to this country, a barking dog, who knows nothing. hope people will open their eyes to the truth, not giving the DPP another chance. coz' they don't even regret for what they had done to my country. go to hell DPP.

  • I'm ashamed to say that the current president was my grandpa's former law student...However, the candidates seem promising. One of the candidates is also my grandpa's former law student :) He is a good person.

  • I agree with you here, but i am wondering, will u vote DPP in the upcoming election or KMT? u mentioned that u admired chen shui bian when he was mayor, but does it mean u agreed or still agree with the DPP philosophy after seeing the corruption and separation u mentioned while they were in office?

  • Sorry I can't tell you who I will vote to.

  • Jackch33,

    Many points you made a lot of sense. I admire a young person like you living in Taiwan care enough about your country to critize your President as well as making some good suggestions.

  • Thank you. Peace*

  • people...read the history...

    Bismark is an extreme conservative one, most european people hated him, but without his blood and iron policy, do you think there will be a strong germany today? without iron and blood, german people still divided as bavaria, saxxon, hannover, and prussia, they will be still under the yoke of french and UK...just like now we are under the threat of USA.

  • mainland chinese government is not perfect, and even some time dirtly in human rights, in coruption . but situation is improving, and at least they know their historical responsibility,

  • if the taiwan dirty politics continuing, dividing taiwan into 2 conflicting race groups...i think when economy slump, taiwan will be turned into another srilanka.

  • you can tell people you are not communist chinese, but its ridiculous to tell people you are not chinese..singaporean telling people they are chinese race, and don't u see on the buses in singapore, writing "speaking chinese is luck"? and singapore government also intentionally importing mainland chinese population to there, for balancing the increasing malay...

  • people now hate communist..but in mainland china, there is only 60 million communist..while population is 1.3 billion.and communist will not always be in power, as the economy is more and more free and open now. taiwan has no way out but do business with mainland, 10-15% of taiwan people are now living in mainland, their job , life and in the future family will be in mainland...

  • check out the history..china has long period divided into 2 or 3 or even 10 or more countries. but finally , some strong one united it, and once united, china got great. just like han, tang, ming, qing..dynasties..

  • FUCK CHINA.

  • Chen is a corrupt dog.

  • Don't mistake me for not liking Taiwan; I love Taiwan, but not the one under mayor Chen's regime.

  • No, you don't. I see nothing that you love it. Just look at what you've said, totally not making any sense of what you're saying now.

  • I may not be residing in my motherland, but at least I support the leader that will get the country out of turmoil, rather than supporting a clown who leeches off the Taiwanese tax dollars.

  • Thank you for your support. However, obviously you love America and be proud of being it more. For us, we're JUST Taiwanese.

  • jackch33,what do U mean that they are americans and we are only Taiwanese. does it mean that u believe they're of higher race compare to us. i don't agree. if u think U can look down on urself but not me. we are all human , to God's eyes we are of the same level. go to hell with that racial descrimination. my ancestor are from China, i can say i'm Chinese , no matter what , I'm proud to be one.

  • I'm proud of being a Taiwanese.

  • I'm American-Chinese. My Parents are from Taiwan, Grandparents are from China. I guess I really don't care of people call me just Chinese or Taiwanese. I just don't let these things get to me.

  • Just an afterthought...

    We are all created equal. I hate that there are wars because of race, religion and politics. People just need to get over these things. They fail to see that we are all the same and that we are all equally capable of great things.

    Why can't we just get along?

    Easier said than done huh? I guess that's my utopia :(

  • I don't think U really mean that u are proud to be a Taiwanese, the way u delivered you speech. as if americans have the ligher level compare to us. my sis also live in the US. but i don't think bec. they live there, they really became americans. hope u still respect your origin. like we do.

  • Utahash please don't look down Taiwanese. We're pround of being Taiwanese, that's who we are.

  • i think u don't understand english well, it is u that look down on yourself, in any means i never look down on my origin. the way u delivered you speech. as if americans have the higher level compare to us. i am always proud of being a taiwanese chinese. ok. anyways, there's no need to argue abt. this. beside the DPP already lost the election. and we won. just hoping for a brighter tomorrow. a better Taiwan. that's it.

  • Utahash Taiwanese has great spirit. The way you look down Taiwanese is just stupid and unnecessary. Please do not worship communist China anymore, they turn down every help we need and snatch our flags.

  • Utahash Taiwanese has great spirit. The way you look down Taiwanese is just stupid and unnecessary. Please do not worship communist China anymore, they turn down every help we need and snatch our flags.

  • u are damn stupid , u read my message one by one so u can understand. I DON'T LOOK DOWN ON d TAIWANESE. UNDERSTAND. AND I DON'T WORSHIP COMMUNISM. U ARE DAMN STUPID. the DPP party is a damn stupid group of people, they only know how to bark. we need a change in our country. whether u like it or not,u'll be a part of d changes. if the communist china wants to occupy Taiwan, who ever sits on the position, they will do what they want, so stop the stupidity that the DPP planted in ur stupid brain.

  • You don't look down Taiwanese, support communism. And I didn't say American are in higher level.

  • The kmt is the richest party in the world

    so they control the media,news therefore brainwash the people, sponsered by mainland China

    A Bian was framed by the Kmt and then lies were inflamed by the Kmt through the media

    therefore all of you are brainwashed by KMT

    i am a Taiwanese btw and u chinese mainlanders have no say in Taiwanese affairs!

  • The truth is, the economy is really bad.

  • I gotta better idea. Bomb Hawaii and let the US attack us, and then we surrender right away. We can all be American then.

  • Talk about Taiwan being independent, why do we want to be part of USA?

  • Because being part of democracy is a lot better than a communist's slave!

  • China is not a communist anymore. It was never a communist since the end of Cold War. It's communist by name, but in principle is capitalistic.

  • It is still communist....

  • Only the name. Don't judge a book by its own cover.

  • It is still communist...

  • How is China still a Communist when its principle is based off of Western capitalist's system? Explain. If

    China is still a Communist state, then there would not be presence of private corporations and class differences.

  • It is still communist...

  • Nope. China is a centralized republic, it's enconomy is market based and the Communist in it's name is just for the namesake. In a real communist country everybody has the same stuff, money, food. In China there is a large dispora of rich and poor.

  • I'm sorry to say that, but it is still communist...

  • Yes you can have your own property, private corporations, yes yes yes.... Can we talk about politics now? You are communists.

  • If I endorse Capitalism, how am I a Communist? Let's be rational.

  • I am rational. You're communist.

  • Listen pal, I am an American and you are just a Taiwanese. You may be make your claim as loud as you want, bu. I just don't even see Taiwan as a well-recognized country anymore as I previously saw. I used to love Taiwan because the economy used to be thriving and the populace was confident. But not anymore unfortunately.

  • I'm JUST a Taiwanese? I actually don't see what's so better about being an American. You betrayed your motherland. I guess you're not a good son, either.

  • We have freedom of speech and voice over the government. In US, the government works for its people (theoretically), whereas in Taiwan, people work for the government. Look at how that thief can be illegally elected twice and no one spoke out until later in second term. If Taiwan is populated by Americans, then mayor Chen wouldn't be elected at the first place. Betraying my motherland? At least I'm not the one who wishes Taiwan to be part of US, UNLIKE YOU.

  • Yes I did say that. If that is the only way to get rid of communist completely. However, you prefer being a wealthy communist.

  • There's no more communism anymore, just socialism.

  • It is communism...

  • I feel so sorry for your rigid mindset that everything is just black-and-white, it's almost difficult for me to help you pull your head out of your ass, so I'm just going to leave you be and hope someday you'll open yourself.

  • don't you feel you're the one whose head is in the ass?

  • And look at the Taiwanese today and tell me what you see? Just bunch of localized and reserved cowards who cringe into submission when they meet another Westerner; Taiwan has become a country of prostitutes, not a country of bold investors. Where goes the "Four Little Dragons"? You tell me. And instead of becoming internationalized, Taiwan has become localized as you described. Look at overseas, there are more wealthy Chinese tourists than Taiwanese tourists.

  • I couldn't agree more. Chen did screw up the economy. I also agree there are many wealthy Chinese, a lot wealthier than us. And soon, very soon they'll go before us. Their market is huge, ours is small. And our lovely Chen just can't stop getting is even smaller. However, that doesn't make me agree to the communist politic system.

  • I neither agree with Communism nor endorse Marxism, it is enemy of free market. I hope you can at least learn that about me. If I am a communist, then I wouldn't like it in America would I?

  • Alright then, 'cause I remember you said you rather being a wealthy communist.

  • You are right. Taiwan certainly will rival with China politically, and that will not go away any soon, but at least they should both establish a good economic relations. Look at how Taiwan rejected so many foreign economic proposals, that's like shooting oneself in the foot.

  • You do know China is one of the biggest reason right? Yes Chen is a terrible president and he's also the reason why the economy is down. Yes Chen is stupid and his way of being elected was not rational. But China should talk to us no matter who we are. Everything is negotiable.

  • Not for Chen it isn't.

  • When Taiwan was still one of the Four Little Dragons, I proudly called myself a Taiwanese, and people recognized Taiwan because it used to be prosperous. But now when people persistently claim themselves "Taiwanese," people overseas don't even recognize it (people may say "you mean Thailand?"). Still think I'm a Communist? Fine, have it your way, I rather be a wealthy Communist Chinese than a poor Taiwanese.

  • 1. so you're that kind of person when your family got crashed and the father screw up the business, you run away and even break the relationship with your mom and dad. 2. Thailand, I've been reconized that once, too. It is because Taiwan is small, and American is usually bad at maps. I won't take it personally. Just tell them where is it actually located.

  • How can you make that kind of assumption? You are wrong again in many ways. Our family voluntarily immigrated for so many reasons: education, opportunity, and adventures. No, Taiwan used to be big, not physically, but inside people's mind. First year I arrived in America, people in the West still recognized Taiwan as a small island yet bold and prosperous. But not anymore unfortunately.

  • I made thatt conclusion because People in the US hate Bush, but they'll never immagrant to another country and say "I'm a French and you're JUST an American."

  • What you're saying not making any sense. You said "I used to love Taiwan because the economy used to be thriving and the populace was confident. But not anymore unfortunately." That made everyone thinks you don't like your motherland anymore because it's no longer rich. And then you say you love Taiwan. It is just not making any sense.

  • It may not make sense to you, but it makes sense to me.

  • I guess you don't know what you're talking about

  • I just wish the concept of whether something makes sense is as simple as you believe, but I have thoughts.

  • OK, be your communist.

  • Old dog can't learn new trick.

  • That cute little thumb trick won't win the argument. Either you come up with something rational to say or you bite your lips and leave accepting bitter defeat.

  • The man in this video is right, worry about the people, stop fondling with the election.

  • Sit back and relax, Chairman Ma Ying-Jeou is competent enough to reform Taiwan. He speaks better Mandarin than Chen, he speaks better English than Chen; needless to say, he's an educated leader who will get us out of the mess created by a thief. kjcdpm, let's come up with a compromise, I'll admit KMT's past failure in exchange of your full respect for the KMT. Otherwise, no deal.

  • respect IS EARNED. NOT DEMANDED. WHAT IS THERE TO RESPECT??? FUCKED UP CHINA, THEN TOOK TAIWAN OVER IN A BLOODFEST AND FEAR(THAT IS WHY NO ONE DARED TO SPEAK OUT TO CKS AND CCK) THOSE WHO HAVE THE PRIVELEGE TO DO SO AGAINST CHEN, ISOLATED TAIWAN INTERNATIONALLY, AND NOW WANT TO SELL OUT TAIWANESE SOVERIGNTY AT THE BIDDING OF CHINA. ALL WHILE C NO REFORM OF ITSELF. YOU ARE PATHETIC

  • Just as I predicted from you ignorant 香蕉 who hides in his comfortable American home in a cowardly manner. That explains how you can be so loud, yet so wrong. Most of your arguments are expected from the mouths of the peasant DPP dogs. But don't worry, because kinds like you won't be in power in the near future; like I said, you had 8 years to clean your acts up, but you blew it. Whether you are in Taiwan or America, you are still a coward son of a peasant dog.

  • dont you understand--there is no dispute! and why do you still use the term peasants??? how is that even associated to taiwanese or the dpp??? do you look down on the native taiwanese ?? that is the attitude of the kmt. fucking so you think chinese elite? be humble and remember 2 million people who are exhausted poor and smelly running in chaos to taiwan!

  • Due to Chen's regime.

  • Due to your goverment's threat witch made us no choice to spend huge money on foreign relations, what about that.

  • That's also due to mayor Chen's lack of competence in negotiating with China. And when did I ever say I am a Chinese Communist, when did that ever come into the story?

  • It's not he didn't want to negoticate, it's those communist wouldn't speak to them. Let's be clear, there are blue, green, orange and red. They all reprent a group of people in Taiwan. Mainland China should talk to us no matter what group we belong to, anything can be negotiated, anty problem can be solved. People will decide what's best for them.

  • Ha, China refused to even acknowledge the Chen administration, and he had no support from the Leg. Yuan!

    Oh, and Bulletgate? What are you, a conspiracy nut? Gimme a break!

    I'll admit, Chen sure could have done more, and he's FAR from perfect.

    You admit that "bulletgate" conspiracy is nonsense, and that Ma is just as corrupt as any DPP politician. This will demonstrate that you're truly impartial.

  • And I guess no deal? Fine, let's keep up this dispute.

  • To those of you who still support the Democratic Progressive Party:

    Enjoy your next landslide defeat, because the KuoMintang is coming back. Just wait and watch President Ma put mayor Bian (he was never the president, because he illegally elected himself) on trial for political corruption, scandals, and oh yes, BULLETGATE!!! These lists of offenses will sum up to severe sentence. He will be branded as a criminal, not a leader, on history textbooks.

  • not once have you admitted kmt failures and problems. i have c the dpp. and i am objective. you love that one party state so much--now you bring up the KLAN??? i have jsut realized i am sharing views with a guy whose (bat-ju ki ho sai ko tio!). yes i speak taiwanese! by the way new jersey is a shit hole!

  • KMT's flaw it's written in history, let the history do the talking and read it yourself; I don't need to enlighten your mind. I am fully aware of that. But DPP has done more damage to Taiwan in 8 years than did the KMT in the history of Taiwan. Has any KMT leader ever seen his people hating him and wanting to depose him? No! Only A-Bian has experienced that. I trust the people, so when the majority of people have problems, then there's problems with the leader.

  • And when does New Jersey have to do with this dispute? See, perhaps you are no different than the majority of the illiterate DPP who use irrelevant personal attacks against their oppositions. You 牛頭馬臉. At least I don't support a thief who stole a country with two bullets.

  • All my dreams in the DPP was lost when Chen's started his second term presidency and finding out his wife and him is corrupt and underhanded the government.

  • u gay chinese

    get out of taiwan!

    economy was screwed up by chinas threats!

    ur so stupid

  • You should not say that unless you are Taiwanese aborigines. If you are not, then keep your mouth shut.

  • There is no evidence that China's threats scred up Taiwan's enconomy. There is ALOT of evidence that Chen-shui bian screwed it up.

  • well, you give us no choice to spend huge money on foreign relations. What about that.

  • The point is the KMT won, no doubt about that. The DPP had so much opportunity to clean up their own mess within 8-years' window and they did not. Instead of cleaning up their own mess, they showed so much aggression towards the partisans. Now with KMT's victory, the DPP will have tough luck recovering.

  • i agree-the dpp had no experience in governing after being in opposition. kmt had been sourpusses-being obstructionist to everything. prc is the real enemy-the new parliament rules favored kmt in many ways & dpp knew that-but reforming taiwan's political culture & system was more impt. dpp will have a tough time recovering, but it will be introspective & will recover. the kmt need to realize that it needs to reform and be ingrain as a taiwan party & not a china one. good luck

  • All good points. Turton (View from Taiwan) demonstrated that the DPP show themselves in the foot due to gerrymandering by the KMT and even themselves. By his estimates, they automatically gave up 6 seats! Talk about no experience!

  • Aurumvore-i want you to see things in perspective! Yes the media puts a gloom & doom pic-those who are affected commit suicide-i dont think the economy is great here in usa-where are all the suicides? The DPP has faults/I have stated Abian's shortcomings, but you cant deny DPP's vision for better/free Taiwan. If you credit kmt for projects, were they started under pres Lee? Love river was cleaned up under Hsieh! 50 yrs & what proj did KMT show for? oh yeah cks memorial?

  • This election was about wage stagnation.

  • IF DPP WAS LIKE KMT WHEN IT TOOK POWER IN 2000, IT WOULDVE KILLED/JAILED ALL HOODLUMS LED BY SOONG/LIEN WHO COULD NOT COME TO TERMS C ELECTION LOSS. DPP GOVERNED IN MIDST OF HOSTILE/SORELOSER OPPOSITION WHO WASnT FORMED UNDER DEMOCRATIC BUT LENINIST PRINCIPLES! KMT WAS ABLE TO SUCCEED IN TAIWAN B/C TAIWANESE AS KOREANS WERE ALREADY A DISCIPLINED/EDUCATED PEOPLE. TAIWAN ALREADY HAD AN INFRASTRUCTURE IN PLACE. KMT FAILED CHINA; IF IT HAD RAN TO HAINAN ISLE INSTEAD, IT WOULDNT HAVE SUCCEEDED.

  • Blah blah blah yada yada yada, always bitch about the past. Go to Taiwan and see for yourself for Christ sake. You have to be an idiot to support Criminal Bian.

  • i go to taiwan yearly! we all know who the real criminal is & which party is really corrupt! abian has made many faux pas! but his vision for deepening taiwan democratic institutions is admirable. the kmt has been obstructive for past 8 yrs. lets not talk bout the past-so discard the roc tag and reform the kmt to be a norm polit party & not a one party state apparatus! abian-a criminal? for giving the kmt an electoral chance to win majority in parliament?

  • We wont bitch about the past if you come to terms with the crimes and corruption of the kmt. demos chiang (gr grandson of cks) does. Taiwan needs to have confidence in itself and have hope in its freedom and nationhood even in the face of china's pressure. the kmt wants taiwan to be subservient so the spirit of fear and negativity is so prevalent in the pan blue media. i will list taiwans achievements in the past 8 years soon.

  • i just finished my surgery!

    Taiwan has popular referendum-although an imperfect one due to kmt.

    5% growth rate more than any other dvlpd nation in europe/jpn/kor.

    taipei 101/bullet train system/subway system/snow mtn tunnel-one of the most impressive engineering feats of the world. letting the world become aware of TAIWAN. i welcome the kmt to bring taiwan to nationhood. not to harp on the past--this is the present. a future to stand up--not kneel!

  • Perhaps you're just a well-informed DPP, that's another word for well-informed asshole.

    Taipei 101, bullet train, and subway system were all KMT's projects, just that Bian stole them. Anyway, why don't you go ask the people, and see the percentage of people who still support Bian? I'll tell you, it's less than 20%, that's also why the KuoMinTang won the recent Parliament in the landslide. That gives you a rough idea of how Bian screwed up Taiwan.

  • Aurumvore: Maybe this kjcdpm should go visit the homes of people whose family member commited suicide during 8 years of DPP mis-rule.

    This is what happens when you let a bunch of PEASANTS run a developed country.

  • Yes, totally agree.

  • GOOD YOU DO AGREE TAIWAN IS A COUNTRY! PEASANTS?like those of vietnam/cambodia? i would put taiwanese in same class as japanese/koreans. i dont want to insult taiwanese mainlander brothers/sisters--but they can be called refugees/carpetbaggers-ragtag army/squalors!kmt ruled taiwan-never governed! the people of taiwan developed taiwan! hk lost its luster when it returned to china-the prc wants to use shanghai to overcast hong kong-go eat your turtle egg& dimsum while getting sick from SARS!

  • I am speechless, I cannot believe there are people like you out there who still discriminate against mainlanders. I hope you're Taiwanese aborigines, otherwise you have no rights to claim yourself Taiwanese. Your ancestors are essentially Chinese, get that fact into your head. It's absolutely pointless to argue with losers like you, you are no different than the Ku Klux Klans in the United States, shame on you. By the way, can you speak Taiwanese? Can your children speak Taiwanese?
