RESIGNED. Outgoing Taiwanese President LEE TENG-HUI, 77, as head of the Nationalist Party; after the stunning election defeat of the party's presidential candidate to opposition politician Chen Shui-bian; in Taipei. The Nationalists' first loss of power since Taiwan's founding in 1949 sparked protests and calls for Lee's departure...
Last year Beijing began issuing threats after Taiwan's President Lee Teng-hui called for relations between China and Taiwan to be conducted on a "state-to-state" basis, challenging the face-saving "One China" policy agreed upon by Beijing and Washington.

His academic record in this particular case would actually overestimate the extent of his knowledge, a revelation that can be buttressed by his recent confusion of Slovenia and Slovakia and inability to distinguish...

The DPP had seen Chen as their man to succeed current Taiwanese President Lee Teng-hui, of the KMT, but Ma has all but dissolved that dream...
