My comment:
(a) Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-Cal; since 1992) was mayor of San Francisco from
1978 to 1988.
(b) The report cites

(c) 美参议员范斯坦率团低调访台. VOA Chinese, June 7, 2010.
http://www1.voanews.com/chinese/news/TAIWAN_US_20100607-95805044.html
("这是自2008年5月马英九总统上任以来，首度有美国参议员访问台湾")

At the time I read this. I thought, "Is it something to celebrate about?"
Sen. Feinstein is known to be pro-China.

"The number of millionaire households rose by about 14 percent in 2009, to
