...glad to see Taiwan's newly elected President Ma Ying-jeou selected by TIME as one of the most influential people in the world. My generation of Taiwanese has seen so many changes since 1987, the year Taiwan abolished the Martial Law. We don't mind change. Though Ma is no Messiah, a risk-tamed China may be a reward captured for Taiwan. Song Xiaowen, ZHONGLI CITY, TAIWAN...
...Messiah Zoher Abdoolcarim's essay "Taiwan's New Promise" is too flattering to Taiwan's newly elected President, Ma Ying-jeou [April 7].

Ma, a 1981 HLS alumnus and the former mayor of Taipei City, won Taiwan’s March 22 election by a 17 percent margin.
