...defines politics in Taiwan. In the 1990s, she worked for the then opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), when it stood for reform and change, she says, not just for Taiwan's autonomy from China. But nowadays, she says, the ruling DPP?and, for that matter, its leader Taiwan President Chen Shui-bian?seems like a one-trick pony, and a tired pony at that.
