l  The following is a quote -- accurate all right -- from the current issue of Time magazine which regrettably misidentified me as professor at Tamkng University from which I have retired since August 2012. Chong-Pin Lin Jan. 17, 2016

l  According to Professor Lin Chong-Pin, of Taiwan’s Tamkang University’s Graduate Institute of International Affairs and Strategic Studies, there are “overlapping ambitions between Tsai and Xi Jinping” that make a calamitous deterioration of relations unlikely.

l  “Tsai will already be looking forward to re-election in 2020, and for that she has to deliver economic stability,” he says. “The next four years would also constitute two-thirds of the remaining term of Xi Jinping, and he would hate to see his record for Taiwan and cross-strait relations remaining blank at the end.”
