A couple of days ago I wrote to the Taipei Times about Want Want Group chairperson Tsai Eng-meng (蔡衍明).

Today I read that the group got the deal approved anyway, as it was quickly pushed through by the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT).

I also read the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) blasted the “mega media merger.”

It is all very nice to blast, but so typical of the Democratic Progressive Party.

What are they going to do about it?

Why not arrange a protest and encourage people not to buy or read any of Want Want’s newspapers or other publications?

Why not arrange a protest and encourage people not to watch any of the Want Want Group’s channels?

Why not arrange a protest and encourage people to cancel their Multimedia on Demand (MOD)?

I will. All it shows are reruns and the old movies I can watch for free on the Internet.

If all DPP voters and possibly some independents keep this up for a few months, the Want Want Group will surely go out of business.

However, I know the DPP, they only bark, but never bite.

1. The message above is a letter sent to Taipei Times by a reader, a foreigner in Taiwan. Taiwanese people only bark but never bite so why should the DPP be any different? The writer of this letter is absolutely right on. Dr. Joseph Lin, Davis, California

2. I agree with this message and Dr. Lin's feedback 100 percent. To hold mass demonstrations against the Want Want Group is what the DPP and the Taiwanese people should do. The consequences of this “mega media merger” will be ten thousand times more disastrous for Taiwan than those of the "American Beef" issue. Taiwanese people should boycott the Want Want’s newspapers and TV channels. Instead of just "barking", the DPP should lead the "street protests" against the “mega media merger” endorsed and schemed by the corrupt KMT and by the evil CCP behind the scene. Rise up and Fight, Taiwanese People, before it is too late! Bill Huang, Sacramento, California
