奶油咪咪的喵言貓語

BBC, a highly watched, objective international news statition had an interview with 馬英九 (Mr. Ma) a while ago and I just finished watching it on TV. During the entire hour that I saw, I have to say not only he embarrased himself by making non-sensical statements that contracdicted himself but also he mispresented the people of Taiwan by putting words in our mouthes.

Of the things he said that I find absolutely rediculous are the following:
 1. When the interviewer asked his opinion about people's view regarding 連戰 (Mr. Lian) as "selling out" Taiwan when he went over to China to have a meeting. Mr. Ma answered that people were confused that Mr. Lian does not have to power to sell out Taiwan since he is not in power. However, later on when the interviewer asked him about our reaction to China's yet again  millitary rehearsal, Mr Ma replied that's exactly why it's very important for Mr. Lian to go over to negotiate a peaceful solution. 

Now, don't everybody agree that if Mr. Lian is not in power, why does he get to go over to negotiate a deal? If he does go to negotiate a deal when he is NOT in power and that's not by definition called "sell out" or " traitor", I don't know what is!

2. When the interviewer asked about the reunfication and independence (統獨), he first said that the ultimate gaol is to reunite and then he changed his statement by saying that he is opposed to China's anti-cession law (反分裂法). Later on, he expressed that Taiwan's fate should be decided by people in Taiwan and then in response to another question, he said it should be decided by people on both of Taiwan strait. At the end of the talk, even the interviewer was confused and said that Mr. Ma was contradicting himself. 

When the BBC host expressed his confussion because of Mr. Ma's unclear and changing stand on the important issues, he questioned Mr. Ma's belief. When Mr. Ma was corned by his own statement, he shouted " You don't understand the affairs between China and Taiwan,"  which concluded my point that he did not help to clear the matters to the world by talking illogically on BBC. And many moments he cited that people in Taiwan supported his view and belief, which was a big fat lie when the BBC host clearly had an article  from Taiwan's newspaper calling it shameful in his hand.

Many people abroad and at home, must agree we have a very ambigious political stand internationally. A canadian friend of mine who just came back from holiday from Hong Kong was so confused that he had a serious 30 minutes talk with me trying to clear the matter. This results in many issues and questions espeically when we go out to travel. That's why we should work harder to make Taiwan recognized as an independent country, which incidently, Mr. Ma admitted freely on BBC that we are!
