In the 2008 parliamentary elections, the Kuomintang and the other in Taiwan have gained three quarters of the seats, and then Ma Ying-jeou won a presidential election. So KMT got a complete ruling power over Taiwan, and it will carry the full political responsibility over the country. In the evening of the election, the KMT stressed that they are most willing to accept strict supervision from the Taiwan people, and "to start with Thanksgiving and humbleness."

Story:
" To Start with Thanksgiving and humbleness " is the theme for the KMT at the election night in Taipei. KMT Chairman Wu Poh-hsiung, Honorary Chairman Lien Chan, head of Legislative Yuan Wang Jin-pyng, People First Party Chairman James Soong, the pan-blue camp famous leaders attended the event. Wu announced at the spot that KMT would be merged with the People First Party. He said in tears to the people in the whole country that no one party dominance, people are the greatest! KMT is willing to accept the most stringent supervision from people , and will be the modest ones to meet the demands of the people, and hope that God will guide them to the correct path.

[Wu Poh-hsiung , President of Taiwan National Party] quote1.1
"There is no one-party dominance , people are the greatest! Right? (Masses:Yes) And only the votes from people have the greatest power. No political party is greater than the people, right? (Masses:Yes!)"
"KMT at this moment is willing to accept the most stringent oversight from people. Let us try hard to push forward, we should not disappoint the people who gave us the opportunity and great expectations, I can assure you that this point. "

"I assure you that we always maintain a humble and thanksgiving attitude to meet the demands of the people. Together, let us pray to God that God will guide us to take the right paths."

Congress Legislative Yuan President Wang Jin-pyng said that the Congress will strive to eliminate the shadow of the dominance of the pan-blue camp, and stressed that the second change of the ruling party in Taiwan is a sacred solemn thing. It is an indispensable process to progress and normalize democracy in Taiwan.

Overseas scholars who come to Taiwan for the election are deeply impressed by the rational and peaceful Taiwan voters during the election.

Head of Political Science and International Relations of Hong Kong Baptist University, Gao Jing Wen, stressed that Ma Ying-jeou's goal is to normalize the cross-strait relations, so Taipei's relations with Beijing will become more normal. "

  • Fuck TaiJUAN! Chinese people should've obliterated them a long time ago. Just launch those missiles my friends!

  • Yeah. Its dangerous to directly ask for reunification, since only about half supports them. If Mainland becomes a democracy, there will be a new era for China, a prosperous, peaceful & powerful China. There will be no unrest in Tibet & other areas. Only if Mainland is a democracy, Taiwan will surely agree to reunify. Btw, I hope ppl like A-bian will be punished for being 'naughty' like to be exiled to Japan, possibly Okinawa. Then he might as well shout 'Free Ryukyu!'

  • "final reunification" under ROC.

  • Indeed he does. Good for him.

  • In fact he does support a policy of "final reunification"(終極統一). You are mistaken.

  • very, very, wrong. He does not endorse reunification, but only a progressively more peaceful relation. No politician in Taiwan could possibly support reunification without facing a public outcry. I know this is a one-sided reported in favor of China's perspective, where Taiwan shouldn't be considered its own country. Nonetheless, get your facts straight about politicians' stand points.
