My comment: The report mentions 黃植誠 with Taiwanese spelling (Huang Chih-
cheng, rather than Huang Zhicheng)! He is somebody in China. See

("[Lejen] Chen, who was born in Taiwan to southern Chinese parents and raised in Brooklyn, was not the only one to see a demand for healthy, safe food. Taiwanese entrepreneur Terry Yu runs Lohao City, a successful health-food chain store with seven locations in Beijing and two in Shenzhen")

Two of blunt questions:

"Q. Some in Washington worry that Taipei's warming relations with China could allow U.S. arms to leak to Beijing.

"Q: There are concerns that growing economic ties across the Taiwan Strait will result in China controlling Taiwan's economy.

My comment: Mr. Shuai 帥化民 was among those who irrationally opposed Pres. George W. Bush's arms package, which did not include F16 C/D. An arrogant clique. Why should US sell them weapons? No way, Jose.
