Liu Poh Yen, was very disappointed how President Ma Ying jeou, permitted the ROC flag to be trashed to please Communist China, a country which he battled against for Independence & Democracy his entire life.
Before setting himself ablaze flyers were distributed. Seen here is a suicide note which says: " My name is Bo Yian Liu, 80 years old. I joined KMT in 1950 and has been cheated and insulted by KMT for
30 years, until I couldn't stand it any more and retired. I am not sure how President Ma Ying jiou thinks about what happened lately. I saw people walking on the street with small national flag and were arrested by the Police and the flagpole was broken by the Police. I swa many Policemen beat up people without being punished. I heard the Police arrested 16 civilians and is going to indict them. Are more than a thousand Policemen who beat up civilians with rods gonna be given outstanding awards ?
When Chen Yunlin met up with President Ma, he pointed his finger and said "you you you..." and I saw President was so happy and responded with smile on his face. Is the name of our President "you you you?" Being a KMT member I am so shame of myself---does that mean if Mainland sent even a higher ranking official, our President will knee down to him?
I saw that President is so unfair. It would be better if President
issues an amnesty to dismiss all things, that would make it
peaceful and will show how kind and general a President has."

Taipei Times photo.
"Chairman Chen Yunlin, was the model of professionalism during his visit to Taiwan last week...aware that the charm offensive is bearing fruit, Beijing has now turned it on Taiwan...Beijing sees the KMT as nothing more than a means to an end; an instrument that can be used as long as it makes its ultimate objective of unification possible.
The plan worked to perfection as Taiwanese turned against Taiwanese...while the gap betweem the government
and goverend, the Police and the Policed has widened,
unable to present a united front, Taiwan has been weakened.
The second leg of China's plan played out not in Asia but in the U.S. with the election of Senator Barack Obama. While the President elect has yet to prove his mettle, already there is widespread concern
that he will not be as good a friend to Taiwan as other President's
have been..."
