exnavyamerican,

the funny thing is, the DPP (aka the independence people) don't really view america with the friendliest of eyes (see CSB's latest speeches). the pan-greens have traditionally viewed america with some suspicion because of american support for the KMT in the past, and now more than ever, as america's stance here fits far more closely with china's.

that CSB is saying what he's saying now shows he pretty much doesn't give a good goddam what america thinks. that's the danger of the pan-green movement: they do not like america, but they believe so resolutely that america will come to their aid no matter what that they're quite willing to twist the tail of the dragon for their own domestic political gain.
