As the elected president of Taiwan, Ma Ying-jeou must specify his position and which side he has taken in the ongoing bickering between China and the United States. This is an issue that concerns the security and well-being of Taiwan's 23 million people. Despite its brilliant economic performance, China is in fact one of the gaggle led by Japan in the 'flying geese' model for Asia's economic development. It is China's 1.3 billion population that gives the false impression that it is a huge economy. Unfortunately, this false impression has confused the international community and some people have even proposed the idea of a G2, which would put China on an equal footing with the United States. Among those who have indulged themselves in this serious illusion is Ma, who believes that China is the savior of the world's economy and the hero of his administration. Ma has therefore been leaning heavily toward China, paying no attention to Taiwan's allies, including the United States and Japan. Worldwide, both developed and developing countries are on the alert against China's threats. The Ma administration alone is like a blind man riding a blind horse, who cannot see the traps all over the place and is still rushing forward frantically. The security and property of Taiwan's people are thus hanging by a thread. (Feb. 3, 2010)
