About this book
The text reports that Next and China Times, later joined by The Washington Post, accused the former Taiwanese president, Lee Teng-hui, of forming a $100 million overseas slush fund intended to finance the gathering of information, influence-peddling, and propaganda operations. The text names a list of Top Ten Federal Programs That Actively Subsidize Politics and Lobbying, with AmeriCorps and Legal Services Corporation among others, and says these federal funds alone total $1.8 billion.
The text quotes a written statement saying the report in question, requested and made public at the initiative of the IMF, concludes that no misuse of funds has been proven and does not criticize the IMF's behavior. The text says about one third of the world's shipping traffic goes through the South China Sea. The text says Japanese vessels have become favored targets of piracy in the last few years.
