Former Taiwan president Lee Teng-hui, despised by Beijing for asserting the self-ruled island’s sovereignty, paid his respects at a Tokyo’s Yasukuni war shrine on Thursday, despite China’s objections.[/quote]
A sad day for Taiwanese worldwide as our ex-leader sells out our dignity for a fragile ROC/Japan alliance that may never come to pass.
He had his dirty hands dip in ‘black gold’ politics
He was kicked out of KMT for being a traitor
He failed as a founder and leader to the pittance party he leads
He and his TSU party will just fade away without a whisper
He acts as if he is a stateman, but nobody is listening
He visited the shrine for cheap publicity when he made no headway in Taiwan
He is a ugly racist, bend on destroying Taiwan with his race card.
10.He served more as a followup to CCK’s intention to liberate political freedom
11.He claimed to be Moses but people think he is more a dirty leech
12.He is Hakka Chinese but no, he wants to be a Japanese and die as one.
13.He and CSB are strange bedfellows but he accused the latter of having no ball
14.He couldn’t care less whether Taiwan will be destroyed by his grave provocation
15.He tried to restrict investment in China but failed badly
16.He never back Taiwan independence but claimed on the other hand, that Taiwan is already independent. He is a lunatic
17.He is known for his post-retirement eccentric behavior for cosplayed in comics
18.He criticizes the current regime for not changing ROC name but found no gut to carry out himself
19.He is the chief contributor to the present malaise afflicting Taiwan society.
20.He hate Chinese for no better reason, without realizing that he hated himself in reverse.
21.He acts as unsolicited spokeman for Yasukuni Shrine, the symbol of Japan militarism
22.He continues to defend Japan’s past crimes
No, no, no. The honor should go to KMT for kicking out dirty-tainted rogue politician. A new fresh KMT in the making, is the only party capable of governing Taiwan.
I think it was very calculated. Because upon futher inspection, most Taiwanese build shrines in their own homes for their ancestors and relatives.
If he has no remains of his brother left, what’s is the significant difference between the shrine in Japan and his own personal shrine if that is the case.
Not many Taiwanese are practicing shinto, not to mention there are a few remaining shinto shrine in Taiwan.
So the Yasukuni Shrine from a religious stand point isn’t that significant either.
Rumor have it that all Taiwanese souls were removed from the shrine already two years ago by Kao-Chin Su-mei.
I’d be more inclined to be sympathetic if he hadn’t marched in surrounded by a crowd of cheering right-wing Japanese nationalists wearing Imperial Army gear.
No, that’s probably a lie. I probably wouldn’t be more sympathetic either.
