The Nobel Peace Prize should be given to the leaders of China!

(Has he gone crazy?)

Look at other Prize-winners…they only gently encouraged people, and took gentle actions…

Only the Chinese leadership has acted with such intensity and effort…they’ll even deploy weaponry to bring about the peaceful unification of China…

With such efforts, how can they not have won the Prize?

Greatest contribution

During his two terms as president, A-Bian’s greatest contribution has possibly been morality…

You think he’s been that great?

People connected to A-Bian have made mistakes, but the moral sense of the majority of people across the country has been elevated: the Cardinal Virtues, loyalty to the nation, purity and integrity, character education…

Up until that bastard Ma has made mistake after mistake, and moral demands (on the People) have disappeared.

For A-Bian, morality is gold.  For that bastard Ma, morality is dogshit.

Note: there’s some wordplay in here. “Má ê” comes from Mandarin “Ta ma de,” and “nn̂g-kim” is a euphemism for dogshit.
