Another concert by Taiwanese superstar Chang Hui-Mei “A-Mei” was met with protest, and this time it was in Beijing, rather than Hangzhu city.

A-Mei’s pro-green stand that supports the independence of Taiwan has become a hotbed of controversy so the “One China” supporters came out to protest. A melee of sorts broke out as supporters of A-Mei confronted protesters before the concert, which resulted in pushing and shoving by both sides.

Earlier this year her concert in Hangzhu city was cancelled after it was suspected that A-Mei supported Taiwan’s independence from China. The police in Beijing were prepared for possible problems, arriving at the stadium in the morning almost 12 hours before the concert time.

About two hours before the concert started protesters started to unfurl their banners, but police immediately whisked them away. Fans then started to shout at protesters asking them to leave and chaos between the two sides erupted lasting about 10 minutes before police brought it under control.

A concert goer was quoted as saying,” Before A-Mei’s concert, another interesting show had already been performed.”

Good post -- I think I'm going to change my FReepName to JohnnyLikesA-Mei, or JohnnyLikesA-Bian, perhaps.

A-Mei...A-Mei...A-Mei....geez I am sick of her crap all of the time.

The media here is eat up with worship of this semi-talented screech bag.

Sometimes I think Taiwan is run by adolescents and geared completely to the mentality of a 14 yr old female. Also nepotism, patronage and simple bribery is the SOP of DPP, KMT, PFP, The Aboriginal Party, The 'Gimme more' Party and what ever party is being newly created this morning by former KMT & DPP Pan Blue/Pan Green/Pan-O-Rama former members.

Taiwan already IS an independent country and anyone who tries to argue different has their head in danger of being bitten by Lemmiwinks.

Its hot, humid and I am grumpy.

Hey, don't knock 14 year old females. To start with, that's a good way to end up in prison. Second, the spending habits of those 14 year olds is likely one of those things that keeps that little island's economy afloat.

No, you're just a Taiwan bashing commie prop.

Every post you make belittles or attempts to smear Taiwan.

This is one of the united front themes.

Thanks, just get 'tallhappy' to take his "I like trucks" hat off and show you his Lemmiwink scars.

If you could ever possibly make a coherent statement it might be beneficial.

Your insults are pretty weak as well.
