Taiwan's worst English-language newspaper put out a howler today:
…the Sunflower students, who violated the law by hijacking the parliament and storming the government house of the Executive Yuan, [conducting a peaceful sit-in at government buildings against an economic surrender agreement with Communist China] have succeeded in imposing their “people's democracy” on Taiwan. Theirs isn't democracy. It's monocracy. [Emphasis added]
Monocracy? Mono, as in ONE?
Hate to break it to ya fellas, but:
500,000 >>> 1
Guess that old trope about Asians being really good at math was just a myth…
Oh, but wait, the best part comes at the end of the China Post's latest editorial:
The last card President Ma may play may be to invoke the Statute Governing the Relations between the People in the Taiwan Area and the Mainland Area to have the trade in services agreement go into force by an executive order. [emphasis added]
..it's probably the only way to ensure Taiwan's economic survival.
Evidently, the only way for Taiwan to avoid the dangers of monocracy…is for its president to govern by dictat!
