Who is Li Ao?

Li Ao, is a writer, social commentator, historian, and independent politician in the Republic of China.

He is considered by many to be one of the most important modern Chinese essayists today, although some critics have termed him as an intellectual narcissist. His political inclinations are more controversial; he is a very vocal critic of both the Kuomintang and the Democratic Progressive Party and their many politicians, including Chiang Kai-shek, Ma Ying-jeou and Chen Shui-bian. Although he favors unification, especially under "One Country, Two Systems", Li refuses to call himself a "Pan-Blue" due to its association with the Kuomintang. He firmly believes in Chinese nationalism and, is given much media exposure in Taiwan due to his popularity as a writer.
