Lien-Hu Meet

What's going on with that? Supposedly KMT chairman Lien Chan is going to China and will meet with Communist Party leader Hu. I'm really confused with what's going on here. What would this meeting be labelled as? Lien Chan certainly has no authority as an official Taiwanese representative. In a nation with democratically elected leaders, he lost the race to President Chen Shui-bian. Even though it was a close race, he still lost. I don't think he understands that in a democracy you have to respect that and learn to be graceful in losing. The recent KMT trips to China both worry me and also, to be honest, if done in the proper way, could be beneficial to Taiwan. Dialogue is absolutely necessary. But this must be done in a way that does not compromise Taiwan's dignity and sovereignty. I fear Lien Chan has no idea what these two words mean. Even more so, what kind of image does this present to the global community? Taiwan needs a unified front against the Anti-Secession Law. Lien's actions may not be viewed in this way.

Tell me what you think.
