Tsai Eng-meng: Portrait Of An Uncle Com ☭

Pro-Communist, Uncle Com, Taiwanese businessman Tsai Eng-meng sits in an opulent room. ☭

A Washington Post image of Tsai Eng-meng, billionaire chairman of the Taiwanese food/media company, The Want Want conglomerate.

It seems that with the recent re-election of Taiwan's capitulationist president Ma Ying-jeou, the island country's small population of pro-Communist plutocrats feel emboldened to out themselves as Tiananmen Massacre denialists. Or are they simply angling for jobs in Ma's propaganda ministry?

Regardless, the Washington Post has the story:

Tsai said he . . . used to fear China’s ruling Communist Party and didn’t want to risk doing business on the mainland, but that changed after the 1989 military assault on student protesters in Tiananmen Square. While the crackdown outraged most in Taiwan, Tsai said he was struck by footage of a lone protester standing in front of a People’s Liberation Army tank. The fact that the man wasn’t killed, he said, showed that reports of a massacre were not true: “I realized that not that many people could really have died.”

Wow. It gives pause to realize these are not merely the views of a isolated flake, but the views peddled by Tsai Eng-meng's newspaper and television divisions all across the nation-formerly-known-as-Taiwan.

For the sake of consumers, one can only hope that Want Want's food is less poisonous ☠ than the noxious views of its black-hearted chairman.

Postscript: The Taipei Times reports a somewhat…less-than-overwhelming response to Tsai's Tiananmen revisionism (and his concurrent calls for a swift Taiwanese surrender):

Several netizens have also vowed to boycott food products from Tsai’s business chains, Radio Free Asia (RFA) reported on Tuesday. At press time last night, a “Resist the Want Want Group” page created on Facebook on Tuesday — whose boycott will continue until April 24 — had attracted 405 followers.

Not exactly the tar-and-feathers treatment, is it?

A whopping four hundred and five people.

Will boycott Want Want's products.

For the next three (count 'em, 3!) months.

(Bet the democracy-hating sonofabitch loses lots of sleep over THAT.)

Q: Why Did Taiwan’s Premier Take a Vacation With a Mobster Convicted Of Double Murder?

A:  Because O.J. wasn't available that weekend.

Yeah, yeah — the story's a few months old: 

Amid allegations over his relationship with a convicted double murderer and former Nantou County gang boss, Premier Wu Den-yih (吳敦義) yesterday said he would resign if the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) could provide any evidence of irregularities in their relationship.

[…]

The DPP has continued to question the premier’s links to Chiang since local media on Wednesday reported Wu and his wife were caught on camera vacationing in Bali with Chiang and Lee Chao-ching.

KMT Premier Wu Den-yih. He is graying with short hair, and wears a suit and tie.

(There he is, clean as a whistle.  Taiwan's KMT Premier, Wu Den-yih.  When he's not taking vacations in Bali with his double-murdering, Chinese mafia pals.  Image from Daylife.com.)

And in more recent (and somewhat related news), World Uygher Congress president Rebiya Kadeer has received a second invite to visit Taiwan.  Saturday's Taipei Times has the story, and recaps how Chinese Nationalist Party sycophants in Taiwan prevented her visit last year in order to curry favor with their Communist Party overlords.  (And note that "sycophant" is employed here in both the modern and ancient meanings of the word.) 

The government [in 2009], however, denied Kadeer entry to Taiwan on the grounds that her visit would harm the national interest.

At the time, Minister of the Interior Jiang Yi-huah (江宜樺) said Kadeer, president of the World Uyghur Congress (WUC), should not be allowed into the country since she had “close relations to a terrorist group.”

So my question is:  If Kadeer's entry in 2009 was deemed harmful to Taiwan's national interest because she had "close relations to a terrorist group" *, shouldn't Taiwan's second highest political office-holder be similarly blacklisted from the halls of government for his PROVEN close relations with a double murdering gangster?

"The new administration will push for clean politics and set strict standards for the integrity and efficiency of officials."

— Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou's Inaugural address.  May 21, 2008

Epic fail on those "strict standards for integrity" there, Hoss.
