馬周分頭行:一西,一東
【Comment】
MYJ criticized his predecessor Chen Sui -bian for performing cash diplomacy, which Ma said he hates most. He then terminated many existing foreign aid programs in the name of anti-corruption.
However, MYJ now decided to donate some 16 million US dollars to Haiti three and half years after the Haiti earthquake. Cash diplomacy seems to have returned.
MYJ criticized Chen ’s visit to New York in 2001 as a money laundry tour. Now he visits the Big Apple, just a few days before he donates the Big Cash.
Weirdly, while MYJ claimed that the twelve-day visit was a diplomatic victory, his wife Christine Chow Mei-ching, decided no to join him.
Working as the director of Legal Affairs Department of Mega International Commercial Bank, former ICBC, the International Commercial Bank of China, Chou is definitely familiar with procedures of banking and has connections.
Instead of witnessing her husband’s “great achievement” as a president in New York, she went to Edinburg, one of the favorite sites. She visited the city in the summer of 2011. Apparently, she likes Edinburg more than the Big Apple and the diplomatic achievements of her husband. Revised at 1500
馬評扁金錢外交,停止了許多既成的援助計劃,理由是貪汙。但,在眾人不注意時卻捐4.7億巨款(2010年元月的地震已經發生多年),當然難杜悠悠枝口。
馬評扁過境紐約是開戶、洗錢(事後也證實)。但馬自己也終於過境紐約。隨後捐巨款。
馬英九的大陣仗銀行法務出身的周美青卻不隨行,寧願選擇去愛丁堡。
她很愛愛丁堡,至少2011年就去過一次:顯然有比夫婿更重要的事情要辦!
