Obama won. It means a lot.

While Taiwanese are struggled not to be betrayed by their own government, American democracy and civil right movement is moving one giant step forward. Obama, an African American, won the 44th American Presidency. It means a lot to me and to many Taiwanese friends here. The success story of African American struggling for social justice is an inspiration .

Since Ma was elected to the presidential office in May, Taiwan democracy has move 10 years backward. Political opponent leaders jailed in the name of anti-corruption (More stories will be reported later.) During Chen Yulin's (a PRC representative) visit, Ma mobilize 7000 police to suppress Taiwanese demonstration. One music store was even ordered to close its door simply because the store had played a Taiwanese song during the demonstration. One has to ask if the white terror during the Chiang Kai-Sheik era is coming back to Taiwan. The irony is that during Chiang Kai-Sheik era, Taiwanese was ordered to fight communism . But now, while the communist flags are legal to display, displaying ROC flag becomes illegal during Chen Yunlin's visit. I have to conclude one thing in common: Chiang, Ma, KMT, and Communist China are part of Chinese colonialism conspiracy against the Taiwanese. Their main objective is colonize Taiwan and Taiwanese for ever and ever.
