The opposition Chinese Nationalist Party presidential candidate Ma Ying-jeou and his vice-presidential pick Vincent Siew took 58.45 % of the vote in a landslide victory, winning with a margin of more than 2.21 million votes and revitalizing their venerable party. They are to be congratulated. And Taiwan's second peaceful transfer of power in eight years is something to be celebrated by all citizens and ethnic Chinese around the world.
在野的國民黨候選人馬英九和蕭萬長，以得票率 58.45％、大贏 221 萬票的壓倒性差距風光勝出，百年老黨重新執政固然值得恭喜，而台灣在 8 年內兩度政黨輪替，過程理性平和，更成為全體國民與全球華人共同的驕傲。
