Former president Lee Teng-hui (???) yesterday drew on the example of the great Mongol emperor Genghis Khan (????) to outline a goal for Taiwan's national development.

Delivering a lecture to students of Lee Teng-hui School on the experiences of leadership, the former president said the Chinese TV drama Genghis Khan which depicts how the Mongol warlord rose from a tribal chieftain to become a great emperor, prompted him to realize that "although Taiwan is small, it could become the driving force to lead the world as long as it strives to do well."

Lee said that he started watching the TV series instead of the news because the post-election newscasts were full of "clamorous reports" in the wake of the March 20 presidential election.

1. Genghis Khan Had Some Good Points

for instance, when he conquered a city-state, he set about slaughtering the rich. He saw them as totally useless and a drain on society.

2. I saw a Documentary, Moyers?, which stated Khan was in fact the root

of all Democracy on Earth. It was a really cool show.
