Are you going to put that article up?

It sounded fabulous, and I was just checking for sources... - Amgine 03:30, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Wrong link to citation

The link at the bottom of the article, "Taiwan’s Blue Camp pays respects on the thirtieth anniversary of the passing of Chiang Kai-shek" is for a completely different story, "Syria Promises Lebanon Withdrawal by April 30" from The New York Times.

I searched on the Voice of America web site, and could not find the cited article.

Is there a link to this story?

It sounds somewhat plausible, but as it stands this story does not have any citations to back it up.

I was only able to find a historical and an indirect piece for the background of this story:

• Chiang planned to take action to reclaim lost lands
• PFP CHAIRMAN VOWS TO COMMUNICATE WITH PRESIDENT ON CROSS-STRAIT TIES

If there is only a link to a page written in Chinese, that would help - I can ask someone to read it for me to at least verify its contents. — DV 08:36, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
