My comment:
(a) What maddens the Ma administration is the last sentence in the quotation:
Tony Rizzo, Overland Park Resident Accused in Labor Fraud Case. Kansas City Star, Nov 10, 2011
http://www.kansascity.com/2011/1 ... ial-accused-in.html
("The economic and cultural office where Liu served as director general is responsible for maintaining unofficial relations between the people of the United States and Taiwan, according to prosecutors. It generally would be the equivalent of foreign government consulate, but Taiwan is not recognized as a sovereign state by the United States, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.")

DPP in Taiwan leaps to excoriate the Ma administration who allegedly lose Taiwan’s sovereignty bit by bit. But I think US makes a mistake in the arrest.
