Asia Times Online :: China News, China Business News, Taiwan and Hong Kong News and Business.

Ma was born with a silver spoon in his mouth as the son of a Hong Kong-based high Kuomintang official. Students who were at Harvard during the same time as Ma say that he was a "student spy", a familiar phenomenon in those days: the ruling Kuomintang recruited "loyal" students to infiltrate student groups and to spy on others, reporting their political activities to the secret police organizations back in Taiwan. www.taiwandc.org /twcom/103-no1.htm   (898 words)

Harvard Law Bulletin Ma was equally unswayed by lobbying efforts of citizens’ groups adamantly opposed to prostitution, and women’s groups on both sides of the issue, concerning himself only with due process: "I had no choice but to promulgate the law as it was passed by the city council," he said. Ma’s predecessor had ignored the city council’s two-year extension of the prostitutes’ licenses and begun cracking down on houses of prostitution, cutting off supplies of electricity and water. At the same time, Ma is eager to make Taipei "a world-class city" by establishing sister-city relationships and developing exchange programs with other cities’ symphony orchestras and medical establishments, for example. www.law.harvard.edu /alumni/bulletin/backissues/spri2000/article2.html   (1180 words)

International Assessment and Strategy Center > Research > Coming in Taiwan: Major Electoral Realignment Now Ma Ying-jeou, only 55 years old, who was born in Hong Kong but arrived in Taiwan as an infant, has been passed the torch of leadership by the voters of the Nationalist Party, who humiliated Wang by delivering a crushing seventy plus percent victory to Ma.

Jerome F. Keating's writings Ma Ying-jeou, the current mayor of Taipei, and duly elected chairperson of the KMT took the party’s reins on August 19th with the appropriate fanfare and flag-waving.
