Yet, as you look at the newspapers, you see the major parties engaged in internal power struggles, a National Assembly out of control amending the constitution to suit its own whims, intensive corruption and involvement of organized crime in politics, and the apparent power-lessness of the law. Taiwan has democracy, but the "rule of law" is still distant.
然而，翻開報紙，兩大黨內部政爭放話、憲政改革亂象不斷、黑金型地方政客五鬼搬運、視法律為無物… …，台灣有了民主，但離「法治」尚遠。
