You just gotta figure some Taiwanese are thinking that after seeing the photo on page 19 of Wednesday’s China Post. The caption reads, ". . . mainland Chinese property tycoons [are guided] through land for sale on an old [Taiwanese] military base yesterday." [emphasis added]
The exact photo that appeared in the print version isn’t online, but the Post‘s web version includes three other related shots, so that’s cool.
Less cool is this obsequious description in the third paragraph:
Included in the group are a number of self-made billionaires who have cashed in on China’s breakneck economic growth over the past decade.
Self-made like characters in a Horatio Alger story, they are. Always inspirational to hear about Communist Party princelings who’ve managed to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, leaving behind their former lives of privation and want.
