Ex-leader accused of treason
Print Edition
Taiwan鈥檚 New Party Chairman Yok Mu-ming has filed a complaint with prosecutors accusing former Taiwan leader Lee Teng-hui of treason.
During a recent trip to Japan, Lee is reported to have said that 鈥淭aiwan feels grateful to have ever been governed by Japan.鈥
Eric Chu, chairman of the KMT party, said earlier this week that Taiwan had suffered great misfortune under Japanese colonial rule and was by no means 鈥済rateful.鈥
Lin Yi-hua, chairman of the KMT鈥檚 culture and communications committee, said Lee had deliberately ignored the history of the Taiwan people鈥檚 resistance against Japanese aggression.
Lee is also said to have claimed that the Diaoyu Islands belonged to Japan.
Lin said the Diaoyu Islands and adjacent islets are attached to Yilan County in Taiwan, stressing the KMT鈥檚 position on this issue had never changed.
It鈥檚 the Taiwanese people that Lee Teng-hui should be grateful to. He enjoys an annual annuity of nearly 10 million new Taiwan dollars (US$318,000) from tax payers, plus special treatment reserved for former leaders.
It鈥檚 hard to imagine that Taiwan people鈥檚 money has been used to feed someone who wants to sell their homeland. No wonder so many people have become furious with Lee and condemning him on social websites, and many went to streets to protest.
