		Annette Lu is pointing down to Taoyuan, the Taipei suburb where she was reared and where, a few years ago, she restarted her Cinderella-style political career.
		Lu has a wicked twinkle in her eyes as recalls her lifelong battles, with Beijing, with Taiwan's former ruling party, the Kuomintang (KMT), and with diminished expectations for women.
		Lu was always top of her class, from grade school in Taoyuan to law studies at Harvard.

	News & Views - Annette Lu's Dirty Psyche (8/7/2001)
		These absurd statements spread by Annette Lu are nothing queer in so far as this diehard "Taiwan independence" element is concerned, nor are they strange to the compatriots between the two sides of the Straits.
		Lu's past and recent absurd remarks bring to light her despicable mindset and sinister aim and enable people to see more clearly the true features of this diehard "Taiwan independence" element.
		Annette Lu's obstinate stand and fallacious remarks cannot restrain the Taiwan people's desire for stability and development, nor can she stop the rolling tide of the hope of the compatriots between the two sides of the Strait for an early realization of the reunification of the motherland.

		Lu deserved to be deep-fried in pig oil just for saying what she said eight years ago about the Treaty of Shimonoseki.

		Lu said in the statement that she was resigning because the party infighting was making reform impossible.

		Lu told Time last week: "Taiwan is not only de facto independent, but de jure as well." Such rhetoric is guaranteed to inflame China, which insists that it is the motherland and Taiwan a mere prodigal son.
		That theory fizzled when Lu courted further controversy by publicly complaining that she was not being consulted on high-level appointments for the new government.
		When Chen and Lu's generation of dissidents called for independence in the past, they were largely reacting against the total political dominance of Kuomintang mainlanders, who took refuge in Taiwan in 1949.

		Lu's determination to achieve something for her country comes into conflict with the relative powerlessness of her position.
		Lu's lack of political tact has shown itself by her lodging open protests against the government in an effort to gain more power.
