Taiwanese business people join politics

A Taiwanese business lobby might organize a mass migration from China to Taiwan to let business people have a vot in the March 20 elections, writes AP. Traditionally Taiwanese business people have kept away from party-politics but that seems to change in the upcoming elections.
Hundreds of thousands of business people work and live in China. Under normal circumstances the estimated 400,000 voters would not return to Taiwan to vote, but the anti-China stance of current president Chen Shui-bian has driven them into the camp of his Nationalist opponent Lien Chan.
