(“司徒文在桃园机场表达了22年后重返台湾的高兴心情：“我对台湾一直有着很多美好的回忆，其中包括我的长女是在台湾出生的，将像我最近在华盛顿说的，她是标准的台湾制造，’Made in Taiwan’。”)

My comment: Ohhh, Americans are so sweet.

(“An opinion poll this week by TVBS, a Taiwanese news channel, showed a dramatic drop in his approval rating: by 25 percentage points since June, to an all-time low of 16%. Other polls give him higher ratings but show a similar decline.”)

My comment: TVBS is deep blue.
