Debunking Debby Wu's AP report on Taiwan

In reference to AP's report re Kuo's incident, the report was totally removed from the truth in describing Ma as "President Ma Ying-jeou's efforts to build a diverse communal coalition"and Ma, who has worked hard to unite Taiwan's fractious communal groups to support ..."

For starters, Ma's actions speak louder than words-his campaign promise ; all he did was tilting toward China and a complete disregard of Taiwanese voice/wish. Plus, he has been doing things secretively without any transparency. In his insistence in signing up CECA (now EFCA), he denounced the idea of a referendum, quoting it takes 3 billions NT dollars to hold one; yet he spent 20 billions to install surveillance videos everywhere!

It can not be farther from the truth to describe him as "build a diverse communal coalition"!

Plus, the landslide victory Ma enjoyed during the election was due to the fantasy of a prosperous economy he painted for the Taiwanese. With the down spiral of economy, his approval rating was less than 30 since September 2008.

Last but not least, 80% of the Taiwanese identify themselves as Taiwanese and do not vouch for Ma's stance toward China.
