The KMT acknowledged this by starting their proposal for an alternative referendum. They couldn't avoid the fact that most people in Taiwan want Taiwan in the UN. The KMT can only argue about the details. I think the campaign has been successful in building very strong support from the Taiwanese public.

I heard that the torch is supposed to be heading around Taiwan over the next few days. You don't happen to know the full schedule, do you? I'd love to check it out when it comes through my corner of the island but I've no idea when that'll be. Nice work.
