China heaped praise Tuesday on Taiwanese director Lee Ang for winning this
year's best director Oscar with his gay romance "Brokeback Mountain."
" Ang Lee is the pride of Chinese people
all over the world, and he is the glory of Chinese cinematic
talent," the China Daily said in a front-page news article.
Another front-page China Daily article Tuesday quoted Chinese lawmakers, now
holding their annual legislative session, making scathing remarks about Chen.
A top Chinese army official on Monday said the military is ready to step up
training and warned Taiwan against attempting to declare
independence.
