Moderators IWS Posted March 22, 2008 Moderators Posted March 22, 2008 Opposition wins Taiwan presidential vote By PETER ENAV, Associated Press Writer 37 minutes ago TAIPEI, Taiwan - Taiwan's opposition candidate cruised to victory in the presidential election Saturday, promising to expand economic ties with China while protecting the island from being swallowed up politically by its giant communist neighbor. Fireworks lit up the sky over Ma Ying-jeou's headquarters, and cheering supporters put up victory posters before the former Taipei mayor climbed on stage and declared victory. "People want a clean a government instead of a corrupt one," said Ma, also a former justice minister. "They want a good economy, not a sluggish one. They don't want political feuding. They want peace across the Taiwan Strait. No war." Across town, a crying crowd gathered at the campaign office for ruling party candidate Frank Hsieh, a former premier.
