Taiwan election under close scrutiny
"Melbourne Herald Sun" "OPPOSITION candidate Ma Ying-jeo stormed to victory in Taiwan's presidential election today with an unassailable lead in the vote count, TV stations reported. With more than 90 per cent of votes counted, Ma had a massive 17-point lead over Frank Hsieh of the pro-independence ruling Democratic Progressive Party. Jubilant supports of Ma's Kuomintang party cheered and whistled and partied at KMT headquarters in the capital Taipei and other cities across Taiwan. Ma has pledged to work for closer ties with China, including a peace treaty to end decades of hostilities between Beijing and the self-ruled island. His victory ends eight years of DPP presidency under Chen Shui-bian, who is stepping down after the maximum two terms, and which were marked by recurring tensions with China over his pro-independence policies." taiwan election 2008, taiwan news, taiwan election results, taiwan election live, taiwan elections Recommended Products • Plantronics CS50 Wireless Office EarsetWireless Headset w/ LifterPrice291.99Buy • Elite Screens SilverFrame Series Fixed Frame Projection Screen100IN DIAG FIXED HIGH GAIN 16 9PERP49X87 MATERIAL 1.8 GAIN SILVERPrice292.99Buy • Microsoft MapPoint 2009MapPoint 2009Price294.99Buy • Canon PIXMA IP6220D Photo Printer RefurbbrulliPrint great pictures on this Canon Pixma photo printerliPrinting device has 4800 x 1200 dpi resolutionli Large 2.5inch color LCD viewer liHispeed USB 2.0 interface liChromaLife100 liRapid borderless photo printingliCombines Canons FINE technology with minute 2pl ink droplets and a 6ink system that ensures accurate and rich color reproductionlIThe Canon ChromaLife100 system found in the Pixma iP6220D Photo Printer uses archival inks that...
