According to a local source I have, the Taiwanese situation is much more dire.  The KMT, horrified by their temporary loss of power, are doing everything possible to prevent the opposition from ever again attaining political power, democracy be damned.

the EFCA  free trade deal with china's a big part of that. should be fascinating to see what happens if the DPP looks like it's going to win back the govt. taiwanese are pretty stubborn, feisty people, when it comes down to it.
