But apparently Su Tseng-Chang is a better DPP candidate, or at least stands a better chance.

The real "accomplishment" of the KMT/CCP negotiations, as I have said before, was the financial MOU, ECFA is a secondary goal, almost a distraction.<br /><br />MichaelMichael Turtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17974403961870976346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-31259848579283950752010-03-21T01:53:15.439+08:002010-03-21T01:53:15.439+08:00There are also related issues to F-16 sales and an...There are also related issues to F-16 sales and anti-missile defense technology. L-3 Communications, Lockheed-Martin, and a few others are also defense industry clients of Park Strategies. When you look into the defaulted bond issues, it is very funny that Mr. D'amato and aerospace interests should pop up again. Is Terry Guo of Foxconn a potential up-stream parts supplier to these US defense contractos?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-47765607214565909832010-03-20T11:51:29.154+08:002010-03-20T11:51:29.154+08:00Beyond the pale of public scrutiny, the private ba...Beyond the pale of public scrutiny, the private banks and financial institutions are busily linking themselves to the mainland. There is NOTHING anyone can do about this, since the government and the financiers are in league. <br /><br />This goes for the TAIEX, TAIFEX and TSEC, too, and the multi-national corporations who are using Taiwan as the stepping stone to China.<br /><br />Money speaks louder than Democracy or Rights.
