100s march in Taipei for 1959 Tibetan uprisingCNA March 11, 2013, 12:10 am TWN    The participants held up placards showing the first Tibetans who self-immolated in the 1990s as a form of protest against China's repressive rule. Opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Chairman Su Tseng-chang joined the march and said he hoped Tibetans would be able to enjoy actual freedom as soon as possible. Su also posted an article on his Facebook page that said 109 Tibetans have committed self-immolation since 2009 to protest the Chinese government's violation of religious, cultural and human rights. Su urged President Ma Ying-jeou to not ignore the human rights issue amid increasing exchanges between Taiwan and China. Tsai Ing-wen, former chairwoman of the DPP, said on her Facebook page, “I'm a Tibetan. We are all Tibetans,” drawing on John F. Kennedy's famous “I'm a Berliner” speech. Meanwhile, in response to questions about Saturday's nationwide anti-nuclear protest, Su said it showed the public wanted Taiwan's nuclear power plants to be scrapped. He said that Ma's decision to respond to the rallies with a single press statement was “arrogant and disregarded public opinion.” On Sunday's resumption of talks under a U.S.-Taiwan Trade and Investment Framework Agreement and the issue of ractopamine in U.S. meat, Su urged Ma to stick to the government's pledge to maintain the ban on U.S. pork containing the veterinary leanness-enhancing drug.

Still remember In 9/9/2006. When Million Voices Against Corruption were rallying and demonstrators are shouting with gestured thumbs-down and chanted "Ah-Bian, step down! Ah-Bian, step down!"?
Do u know what (DPP) Chairman Su Tseng-chang had threatened the protesters?
Su said "The (DPP) government will not tolerate the protest". And now Su and the DPP were in the street all the time to blah blah blah. So unique that the definition of Democracy from the DPP is hard to understand. Huh.
Tsai Ing Wen, the loser in 2012, said “I'm a Tibetan. We are all Tibetans,” drawing on John F. Kennedy's famous “I'm a Berliner” speech.
Tsai doesn’t understand that meaning herself.
Now let’s compare Tsai Ing Wen and John F Kennedy.
_JFK is patriotic and loved his country and his American citizens. JFK served the US navy PT Boat 109........
_Tsai Ing Wen? Ahhhh....if she will be elected as president of government in exile in the 2nd round, I think "天就落紅雨哦".
