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 (©P¦u°V) 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 (³¯¤ô«ó) Democratic Progressive Party in 2000. _________________________________________ ISN mailing list Sponsored by: OSVDB.org
