Taiwan: Filoha very saina?...

Social activist Wobblies says on his twitter(zh): “Knowing that Ma refused Dalai Lama's visit to Taiwan, I began to think that my father's friend is correct. He said that this President is either a body double, or is just kidnapped by someone. Or whatelse can there be such an idiot President?” Lynn Miles has further thoughts on why she thinks that Ma's refusing Dali Lama is a good thing(en).

I agree completely. Whats wrong with a religious leader visiting our country? It was not the wish of 70% of Taiwanese who wanted him to visit.
