Dear Johnny,
I am sure you will be delighted with the great, accurate and unbiased information about the Taiwan issue that you can find from our dear CCTV 9 (www.chinataiwan.org/web/webportal/W5271934/index.html). Impressive from head to tail.

Johnny replies: Ah, yes. It is useful now and then for those who have forgotten what it was like to live in Taiwan before 1990 to read this scintillating material.
There's so much treasure in this short essay alone that it's hard to know where to start, so how about from the gutter?
Yes, that's right, that person talking to the Chinese president in the scrolling photo bar at the bottom is former Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) chaircushion Lien Chan (連戰). I wonder if old man Lien knows about the use of that photo on this Web site?
It wouldn't matter, because I am sure he would approve.
And don't forget: "the national emotions of all the compatriots have been remaining the same as blood is thicker than water."
This story has been viewed 1991 times.
