My comment: Taiwan was on track to be visa-free with EU. Then the Ma
administration executed four inmates. EU was unhappy. Taiwan quickly made a
vague pledge. EU now relents. (I am against death penalty, after having
stayed in US for so long.)

("Ms. Chang, 57, did not enter a plea or speak during the one-hour hearing,
but she stood shaking her head as prosecutors argued that she was a flight
risk because she holds a passport from Taiwan, which does not have an
extradition treaty with the United States")
