The People's Republic of China Welcomes . . . The Kuomintang?

Wednesday, April 27, 2005 The People's Republic of China Welcomes . . . The Kuomintang? Lien Chan, leader of the opposition Kuomintang in Taiwan, was mobbed by well wishers in mainland China. Lien went to China to pay respects to Sun Yat-sen, whom the PRC and the Taiwanese regard as the father of modern China. I don't know why he would be treated so warmly, except that he is not japanese, and that he does not favor Taiwanese independence. 5:33 AM | | |
