It was in all the papers here on Monday, but here’s a link to the Taipei Times’ story. Um, is anybody here even thinking about how well that’s gonna go down in Europe? Because The View from Taiwan reports that France is STILL pressing to supply weapons to the Chinese Communists, and we know that it’s only prevented from doing so because of opposition from the European public.
Yet now some Taiwanese legislators want to throw away their country’s democratic bona fides and all the goodwill that goes along with it by CANING people?
Sounds like some Taiwanese nationalists need another one of Vice-President Annette Lu’s lectures on the value of "soft power".
UPDATE (Mar 21/07): Michael Turton sees this as going nowhere – typical nonsense one should expect from political primary season.
