FAPA president pans Ma over name change

Monday, 12 November 2012 10:57 Taipei Times

Formosan Association for Public Affairs (FAPA) president Mark Kao (高龍榮) on Friday criticized President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) for “surreptitiously moving Taiwan towards closer political linkages with China.”

In a strongly worded statement, Kao said that FAPA and 31 other Taiwanese-American organizations wrote to Ma last month about the renaming of the Overseas Compatriots Affairs Commission (OCAC) and they had received “no adequate response.”

Taiwan has dismantled its efforts to promote democracy in China and has instead turned its attention to integrating Taiwan’s economy with Beijing’s, a former US diplomat said on Saturday.

In a stinging attack on the policies of President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九), the former diplomat said that Taiwan was now re-establishing the political doctrine that Taiwan was an integral part of “one China.”
