Taipei Times - archives: "Former president Lee Teng-hui (李登輝) on Friday night criticized the government’s relaxation of restrictions on US beef, saying the public may take their frustration out on President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) and the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) in local elections next month.

Describing the year-end elections as a possible turning point where the KMT could go from prosperity into decline, Lee said many people frustrated over the performance of Ma and his administration were likely to use the elections as a tool to teach Ma a lesson.

“Public displeasure with President Ma did not go away following the Cabinet reshuffle,” he said at a fund raising event organized by the Taiwan Solidarity Union in Taipei on Friday night. “The year-end elections present an opportunity for those unhappy with him to voice their anger. The Chinese Nationalist Party might go downhill from that point on.”"
