I am disillusioned

New Roman">        I am disillusioned

So many people exclaimed at the news that Ma, Yingjiu, the former mayor of Taibei, had been elected chairman of Taiwan. They looked on it as an olive branch. However, after listening to an interview by CNN with Ma, I am feeling disillusioned. Compared with Chen Shuibian, he is only a little mild in terms of politics.

Ma Yingjiu, was conceived in Hongkong, and delivered in Taiwan. So he is basically Chinese. He made no attempts to split China. Nevertheless, from his words I couldn’t see sign of any progress on the way to reunification, which is something all Chinese are eager to see. It seems that he was quite proud that there are still 24 countries in the world that supported Taiwan. He only said that the man who was dealing with foreign affairs was called not called an embassy. In regards the reunification he said that both he and the CCP are still not ready for it. He said CCP is only trying to prevent Taiwan from being independent.

Personally I wished the enthronement of Ma in Taiwan will make the reunification of Taiwan into the Motherland possible. However from his words I could see very little sign of that. I am no supporter that the government of the motherland solves the Taiwan issue in the way to throw the sword into the scale. And I am not supporter of Taiwan’s independence. Why is China one of the powerful countries in the world at present? Because we are comprehensively strong as a nation in the world. What is more, we are a large country. No countries can afford to make an enemy of a country which is both strong and large. Just like the elder brother has much say in family affairs. Disintegrated, we will be made as weak as can be. The Soviet Union, was just such an example.

What is the most consoling thing is that Ma promised not to take actions towards independence. That gives time to the government in mainland to reconsider the best means that can be employed to achieve reunification.
