To explore strange new worlds...

Taiwan's President Ma yesterday

Ma Ying Jiu sounded quite forthright yesterday.  “大陸政府不能忘記孫中山的建國理想是要建立自由民主均富國家,大陸應該勇敢朝這個方向邁進", he said, "the Mainland Government cannot forget that Sun Yat-sen's founding principles were independence, democracy and wealth for everyone, the Mainland ought to boldly go* in that direction".

This sounds like fighting talk, but since it will not be reported in the PRC, it is probably directed to those in the Taiwan electorate who are nervous that Ma is too keen on Beijing, and is not a pragmatic realist who has no intention of surrendering Taiwan's de facto independence to the old enemy (the Chinese Communist Party). 

Anyway, this is a PFZ.  Any bananas left in the fridge?

* Was he a Trekkie during his time as a law professor at Harvard?  

UPDATE:  yes, he really did say this, although in Chinese you don't have the split infinitive.  
"勇敢" means boldly or courageously.
