http://www.etaiwannews.com/Taiwan/2004/05/10/1084154781.htm 2004-05-10 Agence France-Presse A person claiming to be a Chinese military veteran has hacked into the Web site of the opposition Kuomintang and replaced its homepage with pro-China photos, a party official said yesterday. One photo shows a soldier with the People's Liberation Army aiming a rifle at a target while the other shows two men raising the national flag of the People's Republic of China, KMT spokesman Justin Chou (周守訓) told AFP. The hacker has also written "I'm proud of being a Chinese and a Chinese veteran" in Chinese, and China's national anthem now plays as the Web site's background music, Chou said. The KMT has closed the Web site and filed a complaint with the police, he said. "We strongly condemned the move," Chou said. Taiwan split with China in 1949 at the end of a civil war and tensions have remained between the two neighbors. Beijing still considers Taiwan a province of China awaiting reunification, by force if necessary, and has threatened to invade if the island declares its independence. The KMT maintained a 51-year long grip on power until being ousted by President Chen Shui-bian's (陳水扁) Democratic Progressive Party in 2000. _________________________________________ ISN mailing list Sponsored by: OSVDB.org
