Taiwan: In the Aftermath of Legislative Elections

Here's some analysis of the KMT's recent poor showing. My favorite blurb from it:
Many Washington analysts need to stop assuming that Taiwan wants to be absorbed by the Chinese leviathan and made its 34th province.
Well, DUH!

I don't know a single Taiwanese who wants to be eaten up by the undemocratic mainland behemoth. And the telegenic Ma Ying-jeou's popularity is falling through the floor.

More here, with comparison of US and Taiwan's political atmospheres.
