Why the blues are baiting Bush - Taiwan
The pan-blue alliance of the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) and the People First Party (PFP) have taken American Institute in Taiwan Chairwoman Therese Shaheen's recent statement -- that US President George W. Bush is helping Taiwan -- to mean that Bush is helping President Chen Shui-bian (陳水扁). They now regard her as persona non grata.

With complete disregard for the harm it may do to relations with the US, PFP Chairman James Soong (宋楚瑜) has publicly claimed that Bush's younger brother accepted US$1 million so that Chen would meet him. Soong's claim immediately attracted unqualified support from the KMT.

How is it that this political party, which for 50 years relied on the US to maintain its dictatorship, has suddenly become so aggressive toward its former benefactor?
