Taiwan's President In Seattle

Great account from Michael Richardson, along with digital slideshow and video. 

(BTW, does anyone know what the pro-independence protesters are chanting in the video?)

UPDATE:  Since Mr. Richardson seems to have a pretty good handle on Taiwan issues, and writes regularly on the topic, I've added him to the blogroll.

UPDATE #2:  Richardson on Stephen Bosworth, America's special envoy to North Korea. Worth reading.

They are chanting, "Ma Ying Jeou, xia tai!" (馬英九,下臺!) or in English "Ma Ying Jeou, step down!"
