    Finally, there is a head of state in Taiwan to join the esteemed PRC leaders in custody. Liu Shaoqi, Hu Yaobong, Zhao Ziyang set great example for him. I hope he will fare a bit better than Liu, who died in jail. And I hope Chen won't have to stay in house arrest as long as Zhao. Hu is the luckiest of the lot. He died early.

    Johnsmith, the more you say, the more clear you are showing who you are.
    why not identify yourself openly and tell everyone what is your belief? or even just advocate it here? maybe better than just disguising as someone else and under some mask. Don't be so shy, sweety!
