ECFA ‘just the beginning’: Ma

Friday, 22 January 2010 07:57 Taipei Times

President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) was evasive yesterday when asked if a planned economic cooperation framework agreement (ECFA) with Beijing would lead to a “one China market,” but said the pact would eventually establish “something similar to a free-trade area.”

The two sides of the Taiwan Strait would form such an area in the spirit of the WTO, which both countries belong to, Ma said in an interview with the Taipei Times.

Study tests ‘fall of Taiwan’ threat to US

Thursday, 21 January 2010 10:19 Taipei Times

A US think tank has published a report based on the possibility that China might attempt a military takeover of Taiwan in less than 10 years time. Such a takeover is one of the “principal strategic challenges” the US could confront in the coming decades, the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments (CSBA) said.

The paper is aimed at pushing the Pentagon and Congress into discussion and debate on possible longer-term military crises as they decide what weapons systems to buy.

Lawyers, student leaders and a legislator yesterday accused law-enforcement agencies, including prosecutors and the police, of abusing their powers and intimidation for summoning and questioning hundreds of Sunflower movement participants since the movement’s protests ended on April 10.

More than 400 people have been questioned or investigated by the prosecutors and the police, who obtained the protesters’ personal and medical information — sometimes illegally — since the three-week-long occupation of the Legislative Yuan’s main chamber, they said.
