Taiwanese general who fought against Japan in 1930s dies at 103 – International Herald Tribune

This is a AP report originating from their Taipei bureau yesterday. I picked up the link in IHT, but a search on YAHOO gives six or seven different newspapers carrying the same AP report.

I scratched my head wondering how a TAIWANESE general could have turned up in the KMT army fighting the Japanese in the 1930’s. But the content of the article corrected the falsity contained in the title line.
I think that title line should have read.: “KMT general……” and for the sake of geographical precision, “….dies at 103 in exile on Taiwan.”

This title line is misleading and I wonder whether it was intended for mischief or the result of sloppy news writing. Funniest of all is that, even the “China Post” carried that same title line without even blinking.

And I who thought that at the “China Post” they were staunch defenders of the KMT-ROC on Taiwan. Go figure.
