From Wednesday’s Taipei Times:
Asked to comment, Hsieh Kuo-liang (謝國樑), acting secretary-general of the KMT caucus, said that the DPP’s draft resolution [on China’s crackdown on Tibet] was too harsh.
"The KMT supports the DPP’s position, which is that violence and violations of human rights should be condemned…," Hsieh said.
So you AGREE Chinese brutality in Tibet should be condemned? Surely then, we’ll hear about that in the KMT’s resolution, won’t we?
The KMT’s draft, meanwhile, states that: "The human rights of Tibetans should be defended. The Chinese government should respect the value of human rights and ensure that human rights are protected in Tibet."
Nope, not a word there from the brave, the brave, Sir Robin!
Thanks for the post. The KMT is spineless to their true masters, the CCP. As such, don’t expect them to stand up to China when they bully Taiwan.
Instead, they will try to put the blame on the DPP. Look at what happened when the KMT heavyweight was snubbed at the S. Korean Presidential Inauguration last month? KMT didn’t blame China. They questioned DPP for sending a delegation in the first place.
