I'm not going to criticise you but I'll let the public decide whether you are ugly

Backhanded 'neutrality'? See:
Meanwhile, the Presidential Office declined to criticize former president Lee Teng-hui (李登輝).

“The public will judge whether former president Lee is bigoted,” Presidential Office Spokesman Lo Chih-chiang (羅智強) said.
Seems not only Former President Lee is critical of the current Korupt Mendacious Traitors Administration:
The Dalai Lama told the Liberty Times (the Taipei Times’ sister paper) during an interview with Chinese-language reporters in Japan on Sunday that he did not know where the Taiwanese government was heading.

The spiritual leader made the comment after being asked if he would visit Taiwan again. The Dalai Lama said his visit to Taiwan last year seemed to create trouble for the administration of President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九). He said some Taiwanese media had produced negative reports about him at first, but that the coverage turned positive after they learned more about the nature of his trip.

He said that when he met former KMT chairman Lien Chan (連戰) in 1997, he told Lien he was not against the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Lien, however, told him that his party was.

“What about now?” the Dalai Lama asked, adding that he was confused about the direction the KMT administration was adopting.
ECFA and a new chapter in CCP-KMT hegemony will be signed today. Although Lien couldn't have foreseen that in 1997, let's not forget that it was him and Soong that laid the foundations for ECFA with their Flights of Capitulation to pay tribute to Beijing in 2005.
