Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) Chairwoman Lai Shin-yuan rushed off to the US on July 10 after the director of China’s Taiwan Affairs Office, Wang Yi, visited the US. Lai’s trip should have been aimed at erasing any propaganda Wang spread about cross-strait relations. Lai, however, got things mixed up and failed to eliminate erroneous ideas about Taiwan and China. Instead, she followed the old routine of focusing on the home market and propagated what a “great” job President Ma Ying-jeou’s administration has done.
