Quote of the Week: Soft Power

President Ma on the Shanghai World Expo (and Taiwan's pavilion at the event, which he claims has helped reduced tensions in the Taiwan Strait and prevent war):

“Nobody would want to start a war after visiting the Shanghai World Expo — that’s very clear. The exercise of Taiwan’s soft power has definitely had a positive effect on the world.”

Good job Taiwan pavilion!.  I had no idea it's soft power would lead to the scrapping of the Anti-Succession Law, the renunciation of the PRC claim over Taiwan and the dismantling of hundreds of Chinese missiles pointed at Taiwan .... oh wait ...
