Ma has lied to Taiwanese..

After the 5-17 rally, Ma delivered a message through television to Taiwanese saying that he had never compromised Taiwan sovereignty when he was negotiating treaties with China.

Ma lies. He lies not once, not twice, but at least three times.

On his inauguration speech on May 20, 2008, he declared that the relation between Taiwan and China would follow the so-called '92-common acknowledgement' 九二共識. This is referred to as the demand that China wanted Taiwan to accept the so-called "One-China" policy which says that there is only one China and PRC is the only representation of China. Neither former Presidents Lee, nor former President Chen agreed to the Chinese demand. By accepting the '92-common acknowledgement', Ma had sold out Taiwan sovereignty to China. This was his first lie to Taiwanese.

Just before the second the so-called Chiang-Chen meeting 江陳会談 on November 4, 2008, Ma received the visit from Mexican reporters. Ma said that the relationship between Taiwan and China is not a nation-to-nation relationship but a region-to-region relationship. In saying that, Ma has self-demote the 'respect-level' of Taiwan in the international arena. He betrayed Taiwan's sovereignty and lied to Taiwanese the second time.

Few days before the third the so-called Chiang-Chen meeting 江陳会談 on April 26, 2009, Ma made a televised remark saying that he praised Chinese Premier Hu's so-called six essential elements on China-Taiwan relationship. Hu's first point is to demand Taiwan to accept one-China policy (This policy says that there is only one China, and PRC is the sole representation of China.). In praising Hu's six essential elements, Ma has both lied and betrayed Taiwanese.

It is an irony. In the 70s and 80s, Ma and his elite Chinese friends 高級外省人 were strong defenders of ROC. Oversea elite Chinese often beat up Taiwanese who dared not to display ROC flags but Taiwan Independent flags during the Little League Baseball games in the U.S. Today, Ma and his elite Chinese Nationalist cannot even have a gut to stand-up to PRC to say that ROC is a separate nation from PRC.
