So in one corner, we have Lu Xiu-lien’s mouth, the Hot Pink Terror, which says our favorite aboriginal singing sensation should let everybody know which side she’s on–China or Taiwan.
And in the other corner, Chang Hui-mei, who says that she’s too young to understand all that complicated adult political stuff. (She’s 31.)
Which one would you say is a shining beacon of feminist empowerment and/or representative of Taiwan as a free society?

Anette Lu should shut up forever in order to save Taiwan from troubles. :raspberry:
I’m starting to believe at least one of her claims, the one about her being the assassination target. 
annette lu, shut the f*ck up. :fume:
Annette Lu’s mouth: the one thing that can unite DPP and KMT supporters.
I think Ms. Lu is picking on the wrong target to mouth off, all the time.
Hasn’t she just barely finished picking fights with our aboriginal tribes? Why is she picking on an aboriginal singer now?
But hmm…A-mei does have some good explanation to do, I’ll gladly see a cat fight between the two just for fun, unfortunately all A-mei is going to do is cry foul and play innocent.
I am informed that in Chinese, “da ren” which got translated as “adult” really means “big powerful person.” Which makes A-mei look better, since she’s the first but maybe not quite the second.
Big mouth Lu said:
:s
:loco:
She meant was that the two governments are already at a quasi-war against each other, so because of such situation our citizens should bare some obligation to stand up for ourselves instead of bowing to the other side.
Admitted her statement of "quasi-war’ was rather blunt, but she was just speaking the truth.

Vice President Annette Lu bluntly said that Taiwan and China find themselves in a state of “quasi-war.” She emphasized that the cross-strait struggle no longer is a simple political or military matter, pointing out that it now has spread to every aspect of daily life, including trade, sports, culture and even mass entertainment. [/quote]
But unfortunately, the Presidential office has to yet again attempt at damage control after her such remark, even thou she said nothing wrong.
Stand up for what? A-Mei’s not a politician. She’s just an entertainer trying to advance her career. A billion people in China would like to see her sing and buy her CDs. She’d be a fool to ignore that market. Lu was way wrong.
Not a perfect analogy but CSB and Annette Lu are like Bush and Rumsfield 
Well, no one is blaming her for making money in China. But her attitude is far from desiring if she does not explain herself clearly.
At year 2000 she sang the national anthem of the ROC for our presidential inauguration, the PRC government barred her from entering China, labled her as a seperatist for singing the national anthem.
4 years later the Chinese government is trying to play the same thing again, trying to put down the Taiwanese businessmen and entertainers as an effort to corce them into submission.
That is the tactic for their unification quasi-warfare, some blue camps and their media has been playing this card as well. Meaning they are aiding or intentionally benefitting from such warfare against their own coutry for personal gains.
Now A-Mei is not a politician so it is understandable that she does not want to get involved into the political disputes. But when the other side is putting her down, she make it sound like it is our government’s fault for inviting her to sing for the national anthem.
She doesn’t dare to say a thing to the Chinese government that it is wrong to put her down for political reasons, which is fine, she needs money badly. But then she will come back and bitch to us about it as if we made her loose all the money?
Hello what did A-mei do that was so wrong.
She went to the PRC to make money. Well she’s one of 1 million ROC citizens that do it everyday.
She stated she sings Chinese and is Chinese. Well she is a Sinocized aboriginal that did sing in Mandarin to become famous. It not like she is lying.
I just find it pathetic our VP is making a singer a political target. Are we not suppose to be the democracy against the communist? Can’t our VP focus on issues to help our economy grow or solve our hundreds of other domestic issues.
We’re behaving just like the other side.
a point that has nothing to do with much at all
and it wasn’t exactly an anti-piracy concert she was having in beijing so… oh well
Singers make money in concerts tickets sales. Not in CD sales. Even official CDs, ROC singers get like 5 - 20 NT a CD.
Not a valid comparison. She’s a highly public figure, unlike some schmuck in a technology factory or exporting flip-flops. Like it or not, I believe public figures owe a duty to behave with a certain amount of dignity and morality in their public lives (look at someone like Latrell Sprewell, for example, teaching millions of kids its ok to be an asshole, physically assault authorities, cuss them out, spit on them, and make a good living doing so – I feel he has violated moral duties he owes as a well-paid public figure). But I don’t believe that duty goes so far as to require all Taiwanese to boycott China, regardless of the petty games the PRC government plays.
I agree. It’s none of her damn business and, you’re right, if anything she should use the opportunity to comment on the freedom Taiwan citizens enjoy, rather than playing petty games and trying to stifle freedom as they do in the PRC.
A-mei has done absolutely nothing wrong. If having a concert in Beijing is ‘wrong’ because ‘we are at war’, then really this society is just as oppresive as that of China. Mind you, I am a CSB supporter and I consider myself quite heavily pan-green, just check my post history during election time and you’d know. But this is absolutely ridiculous and some people are just completley blinded by their camp and actually believe everything their side did must be right.
As the vice president, she needs to consider the fact that she represents the second highest official of the nation. She can’t just say whatever the hell she wants without considering the effect it would have, because she has to realize the type of social unrest she can cause with just some random comment.
If I was A-Mei I’d apologize to China for singing the Taiwanese national anthem too if I could make money off of it.
After all, 人不為錢 天誅地滅 
Hey, leave Sprewell alone. He is a lot better than other arrogant figures in the NBA. If something made him flip to the point that he had to choke the coach, then that coach must had been a real asshole, not Sprewell, no way.
So conclusion, it’s the coach’s fault that he got choked. Just like how it’s Taiwan’s fault that A-Mei sang the national anthem.
