We are naturally reminded too of how, on the eve of last year's presidential elections, PRC premier Zhu Rongji sought to intimidate Taiwan's electorate, and how on an earlier occasion CPC general secretary Jiang Zemin, when asked by a Taiwanese reporter what the Taiwan experience might offer the mainland, retorted that Taiwan was too insignificant a place to offer China anything.
我們也很自然地想起，去年總統大選前夕，中共總理朱鎔基公然恫嚇台灣選民的情緒性發言，甚至更早，中共總書記江澤民被台灣記者問到：「台灣經驗對大陸有無幫助？」
