I'll give you "Guai Guai" if you behave

I think this is cute.

"Ma, a vice chairman of the Kuomintang (KMT), avoided the two previous Cabinet meetings in a show of defiance of President Chen Shui-bian, whose re-election victory the opposition is seeking to nullify at court on the grounds of voting impropriety. When he finally made a brief appearance at the routine Wednesday meeting, Cabinet spokesman Chen Chi-mai said afterwards that he would reward Ma with a packet of "Guai Guai" — a popular children's snack whose name means "obedient" — if the mayor shows up three more times." From this article in China Post, and a related article by Taipei Times.
