That's <i>Chiang Ching-kuo</i>, guys. And when Lien was campaigning about this he had aids behind him holding up large mock-up street signs for "Jingguo Rd." not "Chin Kuo road". <br /><br />Oh well. At least in his recent bit of chest-thumping Lien didn't use InTerCaPiTaLiZaTion. <br /><br />Michael, links to anything you've written on the change in Taichung to "Taiwan Boulevard" would be welcome.Mark S.http://www.pinyin.info/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-65615803273582296282014-11-23T16:40:12.612+08:002014-11-23T16:40:12.612+08:00.

Taipei is one of the ugliest big cities in Asia.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />STOP Manoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-78233774598991110772014-11-23T11:52:49.146+08:002014-11-23T11:52:49.146+08:00Sean Lien has his father's knack for electione...Sean Lien has his father's knack for electioneering. I guess some things are genetic. I wonder how many people got fired/demoted for pushing back against the idea of him running. Okaminoreply@blogger.com
