Sorry, my bad on this one ... Again though we hear that a change of direction is considered as having multiple personality disorder. I do think that the change DPP made was a better one for the people, because debates are important to their communities. I'm saying this about ALL communities West and East. So that maybe the point China Post is making more about be disgruntled in general. Good luck to China - hope the debate helps!</p></li></ul></div></div>
