Editorial from the Taipei Times (link):
Former Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) chairman Lien Chan (連戰) has once again been to Beijing to join hands with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to suppress Taiwan.
Because he no longer represents the KMT at large, China has surreptitiously changed the name of the event from the “KMT-CCP Economic and Trade Forum” to the “Cross-strait Economic and Trade Forum.” In this case, Lien, of course, has even less right to represent all of Taiwan.
While chanting statistical figures at the forum, Lien also disseminated misinformation to confuse the public’s perception of the cross-strait relationship.
