DPP bashes KMT trip as `surrender'

[dArKeR]

Calling the Chinese Nationalist Party's (KMT) visit to China a "trip of surrender," the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) legislative caucus yesterday said although the trip may usher in a "third round" of cooperation between the KMT and Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the visit will achieve nothing for the Taiwanese people.

The DPP was referring to two previous periods of KMT-CCP cooperation in China, in the 1920s and during World War II, when the parties formed a nominal alliance against the Japanese.

The KMT delegation, which left for China yesterday, is headed by KMT Vice Chairman Chiang Pin-kun (???) and will stay in China for five days. The trip is ostensibly planned to allow the KMT to commemorate the memory of its founder, Sun Yat-sen (???), on the 80th anniversary of his death, and -- if given the chance -- to meet with Chinese government officials.

1. Chen blasts KMT's trip

The Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) delegation that has traveled to China to push for cooperation and reconciliation with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is "seemingly deranged with regard to space and time," President Chen Shui-bian (???) said yesterday.

"It is unimaginable that this could happen at this time, when Taiwan is already implementing democratic and Constitutional rule. What could possibly be achieved through KMT-CCP co-operation?" Chen asked. His remarks yesterday were his first public comments about the KMT delegation's visit to China.

Headed by KMT Vice Chairman Chiang Pin-kun (???), the 34-member delegation is on a five-day visit to China. Chiang's trip comes at a sensitive time, when many people are angered by Beijing's "Anti-Secession" Law, which sanctions the use of "non-peaceful means" against Taiwan.

Very strange! Why would China welcome with open arms the group that murdered a million Chinese of the party currently in power in China? Wouldn't the Chinese want to arrest the KMT for these crimes? What about crimes to overthrow the China government. Formosan's had done nothing wrong to the Chinese. The only thing that happened was the murderous defeated KMT fled China and murdered the leaders of Formosa and renamed the island Taiwan. So why do the Chinese accept the murders but hate the people who have nothing to with the Chinese and the KMT?
