I could be wrong, but these goons were, I believe, too efficient and organized to be mere thugs. <br /><br />They appeared to act with that same alacrity I've seen in secret service agents. It doesn't appear that they are actually beating the protestors but "neutralizing" them.<br /><br />Here's what I think happened: Security muscle (possibly military) were on hand to provide protection for Ma. When one student hopped on the shoulders of another above the crowd and flashed the signs, that was enough to signal a threat and for this not-so-secret-service to pounce very quickly. <br /><br />Police only stood by until the guards subdued and neutralized the students, then they took them to the station. <br /><br />Although the press reported these guys were arrested later, can anyone corroborate that actually happened, or was that a made-up story to calm the public?<br /><br />I'm sure Ma wouldn't choose to be so public if he didn't have lots of security on the ground. In fact, I seem to recall that the day he was elected, he gave his acceptance speech behind a bulletproof dais.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-25524153602308680172009-05-10T16:57:00.000+08:002009-05-10T16:57:00.000+08:00Howard, no one is worried about Far EasTone busine...Howard, no one is worried about Far EasTone business operations. Having state owned firms with connections to China's security apparatus involved in the running of local firms, that's scary.<br /><br />And "full compliance" with regulations is laughable. Everyone here knows that laws enforcement is lax and companies violate it with impunity. This announcement is, as I noted, a good example -- it was, on its face, blatantly illegal.<br /><br />Thanks for the comment!

The police are seen cooperating with and accepting the help of the violent thugs to remove the non-violent protesters from the scene, and pushing them down on the street.<br /><br />2. each protester is being dragged to the police station by two or three policemen, while the thugs just walk away.<br /><br />3. Even after the fighting is over, the people clamoring to get a photo of their "president" seem completely oblivious to the seriousness of what just happened to the citizens' right of free speech.<br /><br />--scott in 士林Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-27226370798685293792009-05-09T21:05:00.000+08:002009-05-09T21:05:00.000+08:00It seems that the FET news was as fake as a China ...It seems that the FET news was as fake as a China Times news report can be...<br /><br />Anyway, this one is also a good one for investors in Taiwan:<br /><br />http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/biz/archives/2009/05/09/2003443154Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03599321881459445277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-63859554925161418062009-05-09T12:51:00.000+08:002009-05-09T12:51:00.000+08:00Regarding Ma regime's plan, starting early next ye...Regarding Ma regime's plan, starting early next year, to have Chinese police stationed in Taiwan "to attack crimes" (literal translation), here's the TV news piece of the China Times group posted (by China Times group) to YouTube (again, in Chinese):<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qs3G0uuqs5YSYnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-27218790432891765762009-05-09T09:33:00.000+08:002009-05-09T09:33:00.000+08:00James, Taiwan Dageda is quite good.James, Taiwan Dageda is quite good.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15907060405795620941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-24202633460181084302009-05-09T09:30:00.000+08:002009-05-09T09:30:00.000+08:00Michael, what is "survelliance".

It is also reported by the CNA (in Chinese; URL below) that it is currently being negotiated that China's police will exchange "stations" with the criminal police force of the Ma Ying-jeou administration. It is reported to be commencing early next year.<br /><br />By what's described, anyone identified by China as criminial will be taken by Chinese police stationed in Taiwan and delivered to China.<br /><br />One has to wonder whether those "criminals identified by China" will include "offenders" of China's "anti-secession law"; all DPP members, visting/resident Tibetans and other Taiwanese sovereignists should take note.<br /><br />Obviously, Ma Ying-jeou's execution of the "unification" starts with the unification of the Gestapos of the fascists. Once the police forces are unified, everything can be done easily as no one can seriously put up a meaningful resistance.<br /><br />Reference (in Chinese): http://news.pchome.com.tw/politics/cna_business/20090508/index-12417562883796422001.htmlSYnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-13718168429673057162009-05-08T20:32:00.000+08:002009-05-08T20:32:00.000+08:00I just downloaded the skype application to my iPho...I just downloaded the skype application to my iPhone.
