Ma Ying-Jeou is determined to turn Taiwan into Tibet

I add my comments to the AFP report in-place and to the right of the text proper. All emphases are mine.

Taiwan's parliament to ratify China trade pact
AFP
TAIPEI — Taiwan's President Ma Ying-jeou said at the weekend that the island's controversial trade pact with China will be subjected to parliamentary
scrutiny before it is ratified.
So, it is controversial.
Taipei insists that the proposed pact will boost the island's annual economic growth by more than one percentage point, but opposition leaders fear it will compromise Taiwan's de facto independence.

In a speech on Saturday after he was formally sworn in as chairman of the ruling Kuomintang party, Ma gave an assurance that all negotiations with Beijing on the "Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement" would be transparent.

His track record says that nothing he says can be believed!

"I promise all these things will be stated clearly. And once it is signed, it will be submitted to parliament for ratification," Ma said.

If this turns to be true, it would be the end of Taiwan, because the KMT legislators will simply rubber-stamp it.

He also gave an assurance that the trade pact "must be what the country needs, supported by the people and placed under supervision of parliament.

He denies people birthrights of referendum and now says it must be supported by the people.

"Therefore, I hereby guarantee that in the future, the government will report to parliament the contents of the pact before it is signed," Ma said.

What does Ma think of people? People do not need to know the content of the pact? Why is it that the content is still never disclosed?

He said Taiwan's people will be given an idea of what the pact's benefits will be, as well as "what negative impacts it may bring to Taiwan."

Why is he hiding the content of ECFA from Taiwanese?

Taiwan's government says the pact will boost the flow of goods and personnel between the island and the mainland and hopes it will be signed early next year.

This is how Taiwan is turned into Tibet!
The opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), which favours independence from China, claims it will demote Taiwan to the status of a local government in any talks with the mainland on reunification.

In other words, ECFA turns Taiwan into Tibet!
China and Taiwan split in 1949 after a civil war, but relations have warmed since May last year, when the China-friendly Ma assumed the presidency following the DPP's defeat in general elections.

LIES!

  • Taiwan did not split from China. Taiwan was not in China's civil war.
  • Relationship got much worst. More Chinese missiles are aiming at Taiwan and Chinese bullying of Taiwan has intensified.

ECFA will turn Taiwan into Tibet



ECFA如何賣台

健次

台灣和中國簽訂ECFA(經濟合作架構協議)以後,根據世界貿易組織規範,十年之內必須簽訂「自由貿易協定」(以下簡稱FTA)。FTA除了關稅互免,更重要的,它也包括服務業的互相開放。服務業包括零售、批發、餐飲、旅遊、飯店、娛樂、媒體、銀行、保險、通訊、運輸、醫療、教育、顧問、中介、以及各種「師」字輩專業人員。這意味著中國服務業人口大量移入台灣。

因此,FTA簽訂後,等於實質開放陸勞;台灣除了充滿中國的資本,也將充滿中國的公民。台灣與中國在實質上直接跳進「共同市場」的經濟整合階段,成為名副其實的「一中共同市場」

「一中共同市場」和歐盟主要差異有四:一、歐盟會員國相互承認主權;中國視台灣為其領土;二、歐盟防禦一致;中國飛彈對準台灣;三、歐盟主要國家大小相當,沒有國家可以獨斷;台灣、中國小大懸殊,「一中市場」將由中國獨裁;四、歐盟都是民主國家;中共卻是以黨領政的獨裁政權。走資本主義路線以後,中共持續地透過其對中國政府、法律、司法的控制,介入市場、主導利益分配、指揮企業,並透過企業控制媒體、輿論,達成政治目的。

昔日秦始皇為了統治方便,有「遷富豪」之舉,以斷其本土力量。今日ECFA與FTA不只將造成台商遷中、中資入台,也將造成基層台灣勞動人口的大量移出,中國人規模移入的巨大變化。在台的中國人與利益團體,肯定將是一個不可忽視的力量,甚至在中共的主導下,變成一股關鍵的主導力量,一如中國漢人之於圖博(西藏)、東突厥(新疆)。

透過「一中共同市場」政策的主導權,中國可以很容易的利用其企業掌控體系,影響台灣企業的利益、號令台灣商人、企業、媒體,分別製造寒蟬與西瓜效應、控制輿論、左右百姓視聽,並進而操縱台灣的各級選舉、指揮台灣政客附和中國的對台政策,真正做到不費一兵一卒,併吞台灣的目的。

ECFA的重點不在資本家或勞工階級誰受益、誰受害。ECFA是對一中市場、對一個中華人民共和國的承諾。它是台灣的賣身契。

ECFA just a step to annexing Taiwan

By Lin Kien-tsu 健次

Thursday, Oct 15, 2009, Page 8

After Taiwan and China sign an economic cooperation and framework agreement (ECFA), WTO regulations require that a free-trade agreement (FTA) be signed within 10 years.

In addition to tariff exemptions, an FTA requires the signatories to deregulate their service industries, including the retail, wholesale, food and beverage, tourism, hotel, entertainment, media, bank, insurance, communications, transport, health, education, consulting and brokerage industries. This could give rise to an influx of Chinese service industry manpower in Taiwan.

In short, the signing of an FTA will mean a substantial opening up of Taiwan to the Chinese labor market. In addition to the inflow of Chinese capital, Chinese workers will also flood Taiwan. Taiwan and China will, in practice, move to the
common market stage of economic integration and form a one China common market.

There are four main differences between a common Chinese market and the EU. EU member states recognize each other
s sovereignty, while China sees Taiwan as part of its national territory; EU states have a common defense policy, while China has missiles pointed at Taiwan; key EU member states are of approximate size and no country can monopolize the organization, while China is much bigger than Taiwan and will dominate a common Chinese market; and the EU is made up of democratic states, while China is a dictatorship where the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is the government.

After adopting capitalism, the CCP has perpetuated its control of the Chinese government, legislation and judiciary, interferes with markets, leads the distribution of benefits and directs corporations, and then uses corporate control to direct media and public opinion in order to achieve its political goals.

To simplify his rule, the Qin (
) emperor relocated the rich and powerful to undermine their power base. Today, an ECFA and an FTA will push Taiwanese businesspeople to move to China and usher in Chinese capital to Taiwan. These agreements will also introduce significant change, causing a great outflow of Taiwanese labor and a large-scale invasion of Chinese. Chinese and Chinese interest groups in Taiwan are sure to become a force to be reckoned with, and under the CCPs direction, they will become the key force just as they are in Tibet and Xinjiang.

With the power to direct the common Chinese market, it will be easy for China to use its control over businesses to influence the interests of Taiwanese corporations and order around Taiwanese businesspeople, enterprises and media around until they are scared into silence, thus restricting freedom of expression and dissemination of public information. The next step will be to control Taiwan
s elections at all levels and to direct Taiwanese politicians toward emulating Chinas Taiwan policy. This is how they will annex Taiwan without wasting the life of a single soldier.

The main point of the ECFA is not capitalism or the best interests of the working class. ECFA is but another name for the promise of a common Chinese market and one China. It is a contract to sell Taiwan.

傅雲欽律師: 看荒腔走板的藍綠對抗

Less than a month ago, I wrote

傅雲欽律師: 藍綠惡鬥 不問是非 真是可惡

hoping that 傅雲欽 will stop brainwashing Taiwanese. But he seems to be determined.

It is most regrettable that as a lawyer, 傅雲欽 sees no evil with Taiwan's judicial system. For example:
Our most imminent danger is to be swallowed by China and turned into Tibet. Domestically, our biggest problem is a regime that cannot be held responsible for the people, and constantly stonewalls our demands for transparency and justice. Which side is 傅雲欽 on?


《建國廣場通告》 宣佈獨立是法理台獨的關鍵

從市議員擅入貓纜車站事件,看荒腔走板的藍綠對抗

傅雲欽 (律師 / 建國廣場負責人) 2009.10.14

藍綠對抗,已經到了荒腔走板的程度了。這兩天發生的市議員擅入貓纜車站之事就是一例。

民進黨市議員洪健益的一位助理從開著的門,闖入停業中的貓纜建築物內拍攝所空無一人的情形,幾分鐘之後,保全人員才出現,請那位助理出去。洪健益把這錄影提供民視獨家播出,說貓纜保全鬆散。台北市政府反駁說當天因有工程施工,才開門讓工人搬運物料,不是開門無人管。

天啊!洪健益揭發的算是弊案嗎?停業中的貓纜車站門口一定要保全人員站岡嗎?保全人員幾分鐘之後才出現算是管理鬆散嗎?這種門開開沒人在旁的情形是正常的嗎?如不正常,是常發生的嗎?如是正常的或是只有這一次,實在沒必要大張旗鼓指摘。我不相信到高雄市政府各單位去瀏覽一下,就沒有這種「保全鬆散」的情形。綠營揭弊揭到這種成度,實在荒謬。民視如獲至寶,予以獨家報導,更是狗屁不通。

台北市政府的鬥性也很強,進一步指控稱,洪健益及助理兩天後又帶著民視記者到貓纜車站,破壞木板,強行開門後,闖入貓纜的建築內,並拿走文宣。台北市政府將控告洪健益、其助理、民視記者等人毀損罪、侵入建築物罪、加重竊盜罪。洪健益則辯稱,他是接獲民眾檢舉才到場察看。貓空站木板一撞就開,可見門禁不嚴,讓他們輕易進入。拿文宣是要作為議會審查預算之用,了解市府到底浪費多少民脂民膏云云。

民視記者大概是為了查證洪健益提供的錄影帶的真實性,才會和洪健益到貓纜車站。民視記者到場發現車站的門是關閉的,就應該知道洪健益指控「貓纜保全鬆散」有疑問。也就是說,縱使洪健益提供的錄影帶真實(門沒關),但至少民視記者自己來查證時,門是關的,並無保全鬆散的情形。民視記者應以洪的指控有疑問,建議民視不予報導才對。不過,民視記者配合洪健益破門而入,作成新聞報導在民視播出。這根本就是民視配合民進黨政客在亂搞。

洪健益的助理單獨闖入的畫面雖沒作假,但兩天後把有門禁的情形,作成沒門禁的報導,這就是作假,民視是共犯。

議員愛作秀,無理取鬧,固然可議,但台北市政府揚言提告,這也是小提大作,橫材入灶。我認為台北市政府所告的罪名毀損罪、侵入建築物罪、加重竊盜罪都難以成立。茲分析如下:

1. 毀損罪:洪健益只是將釘住的木板踢開一個縫,好讓手伸進去轉開門的把手,似未毀棄、損壞木板或致令它不堪用,不合毀損罪的成立要件。

2. 侵入建築物罪:此罪的成立,只有「侵入他人的建築物」還不夠,還要處在「無緣無故」的情境才算。也就是說,侵入他人的建築物如有正當理由或原因,即不構成此罪。洪健益在有民眾舉發及兩天前的錄影為證的情形下,基於市議員監督市政府的職責,陪同民視前往查證時,為解釋說明的需要而闖進建築物內,其理由不能說不正當。

3. 加重竊盜罪:車站內的幾張文宣品本來就是供民眾索取的。洪健益的助理自取幾份,應無不可。洪說拿文宣是要作為了解市府施政情形之用,可見並無不法所有的意思。且幾張文宣品的財產價值,其違法性甚低,難以成罪。

至於台北市政府認為洪健益等人不是一般竊盜(刑法第320條),而是「以毀越門扇方式竊盜」,屬於要加重處罰的「加重竊盜」(刑法第321條第1項第2款)的問題,更是沒有道理。毀越門扇的目的是為了竊盜,才構成「加重竊盜」。如毀越門扇時並無竊盜的犯意,而是另有目的,進入屋內後才臨時起意竊盜,就不能論以「加重竊盜」。如前所述,洪健益及其助理毀越門扇的目的不是為了「竊取文宣品」,而是帶民視記者去查「保全鬆散」之事。其助理拿文宣應是臨時起意。故無

由此可見,台北市政府的法律見解,大有問題。台北市長郝龍斌及法規會主委葉慶元連袂大動作召開記者會,嚴辭譴責洪健益等人的「不法」,以為官司穩贏,也實在可笑。

民視獨家報導/議員闖貓纜 鬧出「假新聞」風波

自由時報 2009-10-13

〔記者林恕暉、謝文華、林嘉琪/台北報導〕民視新聞十一日報導「貓纜保全鬆散」,台北市政府昨天大動作批評民視與北市議員洪健益「自導自演」,並公布洪健益等人破壞木板強行開門、取走文宣等錄影畫面,指控涉嫌毀損、侵入住居、竊盜等罪。市府發言人趙心屏說,北捷公司將據此提出告訴。

民視新聞十一日報導「貓纜車站隨你闖?停業保全鬆散」,畫面來源註明是「投訴民眾」。但根據市府昨天公布錄影畫面,洪健益與張姓女助理、民視張姓、宮姓記者十月十一日下午兩點卅八分到達貓空纜車站,洪健益四度嘗試由木門的右側伸手入內,但摸不到門鎖,直到兩點四十四分時,洪健益撞開門左側的木板,從木板的空隙伸手入內、轉開喇叭鎖開門,他試圖將木板推回原位,隨後重新把門關上、再開門,讓記者拍攝開門的畫面。

趙心屏痛批洪健益,指整起事件疑似自編自導、製造假新聞,質疑「濫用議員職權」,「以監督市政之名、行新聞造假之實」;北市府法規會主委葉慶元說,四名入侵者不論誰帶頭,「都是共同正犯」,觸犯刑法毀損、侵入住居等罪嫌。

此外,洪健益的張姓女助理也在貓纜站庫房內拿取舊文宣給洪健益觀看,女助理隨即將舊文宣放入隨身皮包內。葉慶元說,此舉觸犯竊盜、加重竊盜罪嫌,北捷公司也會一併提告。

洪健益表示,他的助理張百惠九日攜帶DV前往貓纜貓空站內拍攝,七分鐘的影帶顯示現場確無保全,他十一日將助理所拍影帶提供給民視記者。

洪健益說,貓空纜車貓空站木板一撞就開,門禁不嚴,讓他們輕易進入,他是接獲民眾檢舉到場察看,拿文宣是要作為議會審查預算之用,了解市府到底浪費多少民脂民膏,他自認站得住腳。

媒體改造學社、政大新聞系副教授劉昌德受訪表示,媒體有責任監督政府,但最基本的是「報導事實」,「捏造新聞」是很嚴重的指控,民視應說明清楚。

台灣新聞記者協會會長莊豐嘉認為,議員常會放消息給媒體,媒體也需要新聞,但媒體仍應謹守查證、審核的關卡,更不能漏掉新聞過程的關鍵環節,呼籲民視應更正說明報導的來龍去脈,以對觀眾交代。國家通訊傳播委員會(NCC)傳播內容處處長何吉森表示,今天早上將正式去函,要求民視說明。
