Here is the news story. Add Dignified Rant's commentary.
Ma Ying-jeou is a FREAKING DISASTER. He could go down in history as the guy who presided over Taiwan's destruction as an independent democratic state. I cannot BELIEVE the sort of news I hear coming out of Taiwan. Oh, plenty of people are furious as all get out, but Ma is calling the shots. Does he just not understand the dangers here? Is he that naive that he actually believes Beijing's protestations of good will? Or is he and the KMT perfectly happy to sell out the democrats in exchange for goodies and privileges as imperial satraps to Beijing?
Excuse me while I go beat my head against the wall.

Because if Taiwan is less threatening the Chinese will be nicer*?
*when they invade
Boy howdy!
Doesn't ANYBODY anymore understand that when faced with a nasty opponent, one's own weakness (real or perceived by the other party) becomes actually PROVOCATIVE?
Do bullies pick on folks who look like they can defend themselves, or do bullies pick on the 90-pound weaklings of the schoolyard?
