New to politics

In 1981, Ma Ying Jeou returned to Taiwan when Qian Fu was looking for an English Secretary for Jiang Jingguo. Ma Ying Jeou and several others were introduced and listed in the candidate list. Jiang Jingguo arranged him to serve as an English Secretary and engage in translation work because of Ma Ying Jeou's simple and innocent family background. In 1982, Ma Ying Jeou became Jiang Jingguo's English translator.

Family assets

In November 2013, Ma Ying Jeou and his wife applied for five plots of land and four buildings, with deposits of 72.93 million yuan, securities of 150000 yuan and 730000 yuan of listed stocks on the trust island.

The insurance applicant is Mrs. Ma Zhou Meiqing.

Original name

Ma Ying Jeou's name comes from the genealogy of "according to the great master, talents rise up"; Named "Nine", it is the hope to stand on the basis of "nine thoughts", which means: seeing and thinking clearly, listening to and thinking of Cong, lust and warmth, looking and thinking of Gong, expressing loyalty, thinking of respect, questioning and asking, feeling angry and thinking of difficulties, and seeing and thinking of meaning. In addition, I hope that my body will be as healthy as "Jiuru", which means that it is like a mountain like a Fu, a mountain like a mausoleum, a mountain like a square, a moon like a constant, a rising sun like a rising sun, a longevity like Nanshan, and a lush pines and cypresses. However, there is another saying that Ma Ying Jeou was born in Guanghua hospital in Kowloon, Hong Kong, so he takes the short words of "British colony" and "Kowloon" as "Ying Jeou".

health

Ma Ying Jeou went to the National Taiwan University Hospital for an annual health examination on June 14, 2014. Originally, the hospital announced that Ma Ying Jeou was in normal physical condition. However, the National Taiwan University hospital confirmed by a text message at 1:37 a.m. on the 15th that Ma Ying Jeou had completed cataract surgery last night and was discharged from hospital and returned home for rest.

NTU Hospital said that the preliminary ophthalmic examination results showed that although Ma Ying Jeou's cataract situation was similar to that in 2013, the location of the cataract still affected his vision. Therefore, the doctor suggested that he could consider accepting cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation in his spare time to improve his vision.

NTU Hospital pointed out that since Ma Ying Jeou considered that this was a one-day operation and did not affect his official trip, he contacted the hospital last night and returned to the hospital again at 7 p.m. for further examination and preoperative evaluation, he underwent surgery, completed cataract surgery at about 10 p.m. and returned home for rest.

Cross Strait Relations

During his term of office, Ma Ying Jeou insisted on "maintaining the status quo across the Strait" on the basis of the "1992 consensus", which is an important asset for cross-strait peace and regional stability. With the joint efforts of the Ma Ying Jeou authorities and the mainland, the two associations have resumed institutionalized meetings. As of 2015, the two associations have signed 23 agreements. The number of daily flights between the two sides of the Strait has increased from zero to 120, with a total of more than 18 million mainland passengers coming to Taiwan; The number of mainland students studying in Taiwan increased to 35000, an increase of more than 40 times. Through reconciliation and exchanges, the two sides have established a mutually beneficial cooperation model. The contact and communication mechanism between the competent departments of cross-strait affairs of both sides has operated effectively and played an important role in promoting cross-strait exchanges and cooperation in various fields. Relevant parties on both sides of the Strait should strengthen communication and coordination, jointly crack down on crime, deal with disputes over the rights and interests of enterprises on both sides of the Strait and major emergencies involving people on both sides of the Strait, and strive to safeguard the rights and interests of compatriots on both sides of the Strait and maintain a healthy order of cross-strait exchanges. ***

Traffic construction

During Ma Ying Jeou's term as mayor, six mass transit routes of Taipei MRT, including Xindian line, Xiaonanmen line, Xiaobitan branch line, Nangang Line, Banqiao line and Tucheng line, were completed and opened to traffic. The daily passenger capacity increased by 6.3 times, and reached the first in the Nova and comet member systems (2004 and 2005).

In terms of roads, during his term of office, Ma Ying Jeou completed the Xinyi expressway connecting the third class of Fugao and the urban area, as well as the underpass of Fuxing North Road, which is the first case of construction under the airport runway in operation in Taiwan. In addition, there are the opening of Huandong Avenue, the reconstruction of Zhengqi bridge on Nanjing East Road, the opening of FUKAN Avenue and Huacui bridge after the underground railway of Wanhua station, and the renovation of six bridges such as bailing bridge on Keelung River, Chengde bridge, civil rights bridge, maishuai No. 1 bridge, maishuai No. 2 bridge and Zhongshan new bridge for lighting beautification and landscape improvement. And completed 120 kilometers of pedal lanes and connected the riverside pedal lanes of Taipei County and city in 1995.

In 2007, the cable car was completed and opened to traffic. It has both sightseeing and mass transportation functions, and has become a hot new scenic spot in Taiwan.

In 1999, the Taipei municipal government planned to adopt the BOT mode of "government taking the lead, private construction and operation", and the government will provide public places and operators to invest in the construction and operation, so as to build a "wireless broadband network city". This construction also won the first award of Intelligent Community Forum (ICF) in the United States in 2006 for Taipei City, beating the shortlisted cities such as Cleveland in the United States, Manchester in the United Kingdom and Tianjin in China.

Economic investment

In terms of economic investment, Ma Ying Jeou authorities integrated the commercial resources of the Eastern District, such as Taipei 101 and Taipei World Trade, and held various exhibitions to attract investment. Set up the city's wireless network system wifly. Although wifly promoted Taipei to the world's largest wireless network city, the number of users was lower than expected due to charging. As of July 2006, the number of users was only 40000, less than 3% of the city's population. During his term of office, the annual revenue of Taipei Neihu science and Technology Park reached NT $2293.3 billion in 2006, and the revenue of Nangang software industrial park also reached NT $144.8 billion.

Sports undertakings

In terms of sports, the Taipei little giant egg was built at the former Taipei Municipal Baseball Stadium. The authorities have also promoted the policy of one administrative region and one citizen sports center, renovated and built some stadiums and gymnasiums, set up five sports centers, and outsourced them to provide sports space at a fair price. The symbol of the 2009 Taipei hearing impaired Olympic Games in 2003, the bid team jointly organized by the Sports Association for the hearing impaired and the Taipei municipal authorities, on behalf of Taiwan, defeated Athens, Greece, with 52 votes to 32 votes to win the 2009 summer hearing impaired Olympic Games. It is expected that tens of thousands of athletes from more than 100 countries and regions will participate. The Taipei municipal authorities established the sports department during Ma Ying Jeou's term as mayor.

Cultural construction

In terms of culture, the "bureau of culture" was established during Ma Ying Jeou's term of office, with Long Yingtai as the first person in charge. The scope includes historic buildings, historical buildings, old tree protection, cultural talents, public art and street artists. During his term of office, he passed the development plan of Taipei Art Center. In addition to holding large-scale art and cultural activities, the authorities also accelerated the reorganization and regeneration of Huashan art and cultural special zone, Jianguo brewery and treasure rock settlement. The plans of Maokong aerial cable car and Beitou aerial cable car will improve the efficiency of regional tourism. In addition, there are new immigrants guild branches in Nangang and Wanhua to provide leisure gathering places for foreign new immigrants. In 2003, the Taipei City Council passed the legislation of the Taipei tree protection autonomy Ordinance promoted by the Cultural Bureau, so that the old trees, big trees and meaningful trees in Taipei can be protected by law. In terms of the preservation of historic sites, Taipei listed the former residences of important officials during the national government - Shilin official residence, Qihai official residence, sun Yunxuan's former residence, Li Guoding's former residence, Yan Jiagan's former residence and Qian Mu's former residence as municipal historic sites, as well as Nanhai Academy Science Museum, nancaiyuan Japanese dormitory on Guling street, Xinfu market on Wanhua Sanshui street, Wanhua Zhushun general temple, etc.

Public Health

In terms of public health, in the absence of "central government" subsidies, the household takeover penetration rate in Taipei increased from 28.8% in 1998 to 88% in May 2008, improving river pollution in greater Taipei. The garbage fee collected separately from the water fee is collected with the bag, which improves the resource recovery rate of Taipei.

Ma Ying Jeou municipal government promoted the integration of municipal hospitals and integrated 10 municipal hospitals into a municipal united hospital. After the integration of municipal hospitals, due to the improvement of bargaining power, the drug price cost in one year was saved by 650 million yuan.

Guarding the land and defending the "country"

In January 28, 2016, Ma Ying-Jeou, on the morning of 28, made relevant official and academics to Taiping Island (the largest island in Spratly Islands), and expounded the four purposes of the forenoon: to consolate the people stationed on the island before the arrival of the Spring Festival, to publish the road map of the South China Sea peace initiative, to explain the peaceful use of Taiping island and clarify the legal status of Taiping island. The Zhongsha Islands, the Dongsha Islands and the surrounding sea areas allow all doubt to be unquestionable, Ma Ying-Jeou said. No matter in terms of history, geography or international law, the sovereignty of Spratly Islands, Paracel Islands, Zhongsha Islands, Dongsha Islands and the surrounding sea areas is beyond doubt. It is hoped that all parties to the dispute in the South China Sea will shelve the dispute, achieve peace and mutual benefit and jointly develop. Taiping island is sufficient to "maintain human habitation and its own economic life". It is not a rock reef, but an island. It fully conforms to the definition of "island" in Article 121 of the United Nations Convention on the law of the sea (UNCLOS). Therefore, in addition to the "territorial sea", Taiping island has the right to claim the exclusive economic zone and continental reef layer.

On April 9, 2016, Ma Ying Jeou visited pengjiayu island and will set up a monument to "peace in the East China Sea and eternal stability of the country and Xinjiang" on the island. Ma Ying Jeou's office said that this move is a declaration to the international community that the Taiwan authorities adhere to territorial "sovereignty" and their firm determination to pursue peace. Following Ma Ying Jeou's trip to Taiping island to declare the "sovereignty" of the South China Sea, this trip once again expressed the maintenance of the "sovereignty" of the territory of the East China Sea.

Political philosophy

In an interview with the associated press on October 22, 2010, Ma Ying Jeou stressed that the Diaoyu Islands "belong to Taiwan geographically and geologically".

Ma Ying Jeou said that if Taiwan is located in Hawaii, it may be able to keep a distance from the mainland, but Taiwan is closely connected with the mainland, and the cross-strait economy is naturally inseparable. The two sides have signed 14 economic agreements. The two sides have established a certain degree of mutual trust and have very good prospects for cooperation.

Ma Ying Jeou discussed the "sovereignty" of the Diaoyu Island. He cited three "fishing protection letters" he had written, stressed that the Diaoyu Island "belongs to Taiwan geographically and geologically", and advocated that the "solution" of the Diaoyu Island incident is "joint development and resource sharing".

Cross strait issues

Solving cross-strait disputes requires patience, love and perseverance

Ma Ying Jeou said on January 28, 2011 that both sides of the Strait need to go through a long historical stage to find ways to solve cross-strait disputes through in-depth exchanges and guided by the wisdom of Chinese culture. This is not a simple project. It requires patience, love and perseverance.

Ma Ying Jeou said that the cross-strait policy is a "win-win cycle". He said that reciprocity, reciprocity and dignity are the principles of cross-strait consultations. None of the agreements and consensus signed in the six "Chen Jiang talks" has harmed Taiwan's dignity and opened up a new path in the hope of achieving cross-strait peace and prosperity.

He said that the mainland is already the world's second-largest economy. Whatever impact it has on Taiwan, whether it likes it or not, we must face it. More importantly, we should adopt a pragmatic attitude, find out the cooperation methods accepted by both sides, and give full play to Taiwan's strength. This is the main goal of mainland policy and cross-strait relations.

Ma Ying Jeou also said that he is gratified that after promoting the new mainland policy, the atmosphere of peace and relief has become stronger and stronger. The people on both sides of the Strait belong to the Chinese nation and are descendants of the Chinese emperor. He hopes that in the future, the people on both sides of the Strait will never see each other again.

Ma Ying Jeou said that the first thing to go to work in the office building every morning is to salute the bronze statue of Sun Yat sen in the open hall and recall the ambition of Sun Yat Sen's life. Ma Ying Jeou said that the Taiwan authorities have been working hard to achieve what Dr. Sun Yat Sen said on his deathbed: "peace, struggle and save China". Ma Ying Jeou said that since the establishment of the army in Huangpu, Guangzhou in 1924, under the leadership of Chiang Kai Shek, the sages and martyrs and loyal officers and soldiers sacrificed their small selves, achieved their great selves, fought and made contributions, which can be described as bloody and tearful. He especially mentioned that it has been more than 77 years since the Lugouqiao Incident opened the prelude to the war of resistance against Japan. At that time, under the call of Chiang Kai Shek, "the land is not divided into East, West, North and south, and people are not divided into men, women, old and young", the army and people all over the country used the weak enemy and the strong, but also used political strategies to guide strategies and tactics. They finally won the victory and won the national self-confidence and self-esteem. They not only shed the shame of being bullied by the foreign powers since the Opium War, but also ranked among the top five in the world. Although the flames of the war of resistance against Japan are far away now, "we can forgive the mistakes of the aggressors, but we must not forget the history of blood and tears, nor allow it to happen again".

Cross strait relations can learn from the historical experience of the reunification of the two Germany

On September 24, 2014, Ma Ying Jeou said that the meeting between leaders of the two sides of the Strait was first proposed by the mainland and has always been advocated by the mainland. As long as it is conducive to the peaceful development of cross-strait relations and the well-being of compatriots on both sides of the Strait, "we all hold a positive and open attitude". During his visit, Ma Ying Jeou also mentioned the experience before and after the reunification of Germany. He said that the development of both sides of the Taiwan Strait can learn from the history of Germany. For example, he said, the initial mode of communication between East Germany and West Germany in 1972 was "a good step". Taiwan could imitate, like establishing a representative office in the Chinese mainland similar to that set in Germany in 1974. Ma Ying Jeou said that Taiwan could not adopt "one Germany, two countries" in those days, because Beijing and Taipei were neither "two countries" nor "within one country". He said it was an "unprecedented relationship".

Maintaining the status quo of peace and striving to revitalize China

*** ***

He said that the cross-Strait issues are complex, but he is willing to reach a cross-strait agreement and promote sustainable peace and prosperity.

Ma Ying Jeou put forward five proposals to maintain the current situation of peace and prosperity across the Strait:

1. Consolidate the "cross-strait consensus" and maintain the status quo of peace.

2. Reduce hostilities and settle disputes peacefully.

3. Expand cross-strait exchanges and enhance mutual benefit and win-win results.

4. Set up cross-strait hotlines to deal with urgent problems. It is hoped that in the future, a hotline can be set up between the heads of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council of China and the Mainland Affairs Council of Taiwan.

5. The two sides of the Strait work together to revitalize China.

In September 2014, Ma Ying Jeou's commitment to promoting regional peace was finally recognized internationally. The "International National Diplomacy Association" (ptpi), founded by Eisenhower of the United States, decided to award the annual highest honor "Eisenhower international peace award" to Ma Ying Jeou. This is not only the first award of a leader in Taiwan, but also Eisenhower's granddaughter Mary wrote a special letter to congratulate Ma Ying Jeou.

Inauguration in 2008

On May 20, 2008, Ma Ying Jeou officially succeeded Chen Shui Bian as the supreme leader of the Taiwan region and delivered an inaugural speech entitled "the people rise up and Taiwan is reborn". The main contents are the historical significance of the second party rotation, the mandate of the term of office, the inheritance and vision of Taiwan.

Re elected in 2012

On May 20, 2012, in his inaugural speech, he said that he would follow the principle of "urgent before slow, easy before difficult, economic before political" to promote cross-strait exchanges and set a record high in economy and trade, transportation, health, culture, education, justice, finance and other aspects.

Ma Ying Jeou stressed that the people on both sides of the Strait belong to the Chinese nation and are descendants of the Chinese people. They share a common blood relationship, history and culture, and also respect Dr. Sun Yat Sen. In the next four years, the two sides should explore new areas of cooperation, continue to consolidate peace, expand prosperity and deepen mutual trust.

Ma Ying Jeou said that in the next four years, the five pillars of "building a happy Taiwan" will be to strengthen the momentum of economic growth, create employment and implement social justice, create a low-carbon green energy environment, cultivate cultural strength and actively cultivate and attract talents. This is the goal of his second term.

Peek at "forbidden books"

According to Taiwan's "Central News Agency", Ma Ying Jeou is a standard fan of martial arts novels. Martial arts novels have accompanied him since the third grade of primary school. In 2014, he encouraged students to read more. In addition to loyalty, filial piety and righteousness, the author's wonderful writing is absolutely helpful to the composition!

Many people grow up with martial arts novels in their youth, and Ma Ying Jeou is no exception. Referring to martial arts novels, he brightened his eyes and said proudly, "I've been reading them since the third grade of primary school.".

In that era, even the forbidden book "wudiao" was renamed as the forbidden book of chivalry, but it was also renamed as the "wudiao". Ma Ying Jeou said that his father rented it back and took advantage of the gap when his father didn't watch it. It seems that Ma Ying Jeou has practiced. The "forbidden book" has been closed and peeped. He has trained a good martial arts!

So far, he still loves martial arts novels. Ma Ying Jeou is full of praise for the loyalty, filial piety and righteousness in martial arts novels and the author's writing. In the face that many children are immersed in online games and seem to fall into another world, he encourages students to read more martial arts novels. I believe it is absolutely helpful for composition.

Then again, Ma Ying Jeou is still loyal to the original. Therefore, he almost doesn't watch the adapted films. "I absolutely don't watch the adapted films to avoid the destruction of my imagination"! For example, he said, if the legend of the carving hero is made into a film, "I will think, how did Guo Jing grow like this?"

In order not to destroy the imaginary appearance of Guo Jing and preserve unlimited imagination space, Ma Ying Jeou tried not to watch the adapted film. He said, "literature is really different from film!"

Eat in front of the camera

According to Taiwan media Zhongshi electronic news, in 2015, people wrote to the "presidential palace" calling on Ma Ying Jeou to "stop eating in front of the camera!" So as to avoid poor social perception. Ma Ying Jeou attended the public trip yesterday. The organizer sent him his favorite red bean cake. Ma Ying Jeou, who was greedy and couldn't eat, could only look at the cake and sigh with embarrassment. "Before coming, someone told me not to eat."

A photo of Ma Ying Jeou biting a red bean cake with a big mouth at a dinner party in 2014 became a classic news photo because his wife Zhou Meiqing was still frowning and staring. This photo was later collected by Ma Ying Jeou and hung in the office with a picture saying "how can I marry such a person!"

In 2015, a forum on the "presidential palace" on the public desk called on Ma Ying Jeou to "stop eating in front of the camera!" He said impolitely, "is Ma Ying Jeou hungry? Why do you eat in front of the camera?" The people who submitted the letter said frankly that this picture is hard to see in the eyes of the people. Taiwan's economy is still depressed. Ma Ying Jeou ate happily in front of the camera. The people want leaders with political achievements, not leaders who eat hard in front of the camera.

Ma Ying Jeou attended the 85th birthday of the "Central News Agency" yesterday. The organizer kindly sent his favorite "red bean cake", which was placed in front of him. Ma Ying Jeou shook his head and looked very embarrassed.

However, the red bean cake was so delicious that the greedy Ma Ying Jeou finally "couldn't wait" and couldn't help saying, "I'll eat the red bean cake when I go home!"

In December 2014, Taiwan celebrity Zhou yukou quoted unnamed sources to disclose that the Kuomintang privately received 200 million yuan (New Taiwan dollars, the same below) of political contributions from Taiwan Dingxin group. The KMT side sternly refuted this and wanted to accuse Zhou yukou of false accusations. Although Zhou yukou changed his mouth the day before yesterday that "200 million yuan is related to Ma Ying Jeou's team, not the KMT", the KMT still insisted on making a complaint. Fan Jiang Taiji, chairman of the cultural and communication Commission, filed a petition against Zhou yukou in the Taipei District Court at 4 p.m. on the 24th. However, Zhou yukou earlier rang the bell at the local prosecutor's office at 11:30 a.m. on the 24th, claiming that the Kuomintang was threatening her.

On January 18, 2016, Ma Ying Jeou met with former US Deputy Secretary of state burns, who came to Taiwan as a special envoy. Hong Lei, spokesman of the Ministry of foreign affairs of the people's Republic of China, responded: "China has expressed concern to the United States in this regard." "Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory, and Taiwan affairs are purely China's internal affairs."

On May 19, 2016, on the last day of Ma Ying Jeou's appointment as leader of the Taiwan authorities, the Taipei prosecution announced that the case of Ma Ying Jeou's "temporary signing" due to "criminal immunity" would be reopened on May 20 of the same year.

On November 8, 2016, Ke Jianming, the general convener of the Democratic Progressive Party's "Legislative Yuan" caucus, sued former leader Ma Ying Jeou for suspected obstruction of secrets and illegal listening. Ma Ying Jeou personally appeared in the Taipei District Court. This is his first appearance as a defendant.

On January 4, 2017, when Ma Ying Jeou gave a speech at Mingchuan University, he said, "I am not gay myself. Although some people doubt it, it is false!". Ma Ying Jeou said that because he was very friendly to his comrades, when he was mayor of Taipei, he prepared an official budget for comrades to organize activities for the first time, making Taipei The Friendliest City for comrades in Asia. This friendship is also from the perspective of human rights and culture. Is the same surname marriage subject to a "referendum"? He said that deliberative democracy should be carried out and divided into groups to narrow the distance between each other, otherwise the "referendum" will continue to quarrel. He stressed that the social discussion was not sufficient, and the "tight and broken bowl" (anxious and unable to eat hot tofu) should be stewed slowly with "slow fire".

On the issue of Ma Ying Jeou's sexual orientation, Feng Guangyuan, a Taiwanese writer, once wrote an article satirizing the "special relationship" between former "Secretary General of the National Security Council" Jin pucong and Ma Ying Jeou. Last year, Feng Guangyuan approved Jin pucong with "court certified male prostitutes" and "bastards" on Facebook. He was sued by Jin pucong, and Feng Guangyuan was fined NT $5000.

In 2013, Ma Ying Jeou was involved in the case of disclosure and abetting disclosure of secrets in the "political dispute in September", and the Taipei District Court sentenced Ma Ying Jeou at 4 p.m. on August 25, 2017. Ma Ying Jeou was acquitted and can be appealed.

On September 18, 2017, the "Taipei District Prosecutor's office" was dissatisfied with the judgment and appealed to the "Taiwan High Court".

On May 15, 2018, Taiwan's "high court" revoked the acquittal of the first instance, found Ma Ying Jeou guilty of "abetting the disclosure of secrets" in the criminal law and "the disclosure of information by civil servants without cause" in the "general insurance law", and sentenced Ma Ying Jeou to fixed-term imprisonment for April and a fine of 120000 yuan. Ma Ying Jeou can still appeal.

During Taiwan's "sunflower student movement" in 2014, the protesters who raided Taiwan's "Executive Yuan" were forcibly expelled by the police, and 25 people surnamed Zhou were injured. The injured accused four people, including Ma Ying Jeou, the former leader of Taiwan, of attempted murder. On September 15, 2020, the Taipei district court acquitted Ma Ying Jeou and other four people and could appeal.

It was reported on October 27, 2021 that Ma Ying Jeou, former leader of Taiwan, was accused of selling Kuomintang party property at a low price in the "three middle cases", and was prosecuted by the Taipei District Prosecutor's office in 2018. The Taipei District Court concluded that Ma Ying Jeou was not guilty.

Ma Ying Jeou is 178 cm tall, handsome and gentle. Many media have reported on Ma Ying Jeou as a young and handsome political star, and Ma Ying Jeou himself has established a healthy and energetic positive public image by long-term and continuous morning running and active participation in sports activities. In some voting activities for women and comrades in Taiwan, Ma Ying Jeou was rated as the "dream lover" of politicians, and the media used to nickname him "little horse". Some surveys believe that Ma Ying Jeou's outstanding external conditions are the biggest factor in his rise in Taiwan's political arena. Xinwen interpreted this factor as "Ma Ying Jeou myth". In terms of character, Ma Ying Jeou has the image of integrity and self-discipline, frugality and honesty, and acting according to law, and tries his best to avoid being involved in any entertainment and parties that may be criticized. Therefore, he has positive and negative evaluations such as "political non stick to the pot" and "political cleanliness". Those who agree with this style of conduct will think that Ma Ying Jeou is more moderate and rational, while those who disagree will criticize Ma Ying Jeou for hypocrisy or lack of courage to take the lead.

As a political figure in the pan blue camp, Ma Ying Jeou is often criticized by the media in the pro pan green camp, while the pro pan blue media are relatively friendly. New Taiwan Newsweek criticized this phenomenon as the "media God making movement". In addition, Ma Ying Jeou is often criticized by the opposition camp for ignoring Taiwan's local spirit. The freedom times once criticized Ma Ying Jeou with "Ma Ying Jeou's English is better than Taiwanese" and "Ma Ying Jeou is better for China than Taiwan".
