 | | This dog and pony show was referred to as "qi Lien, bao Bian" or "dump Lien, save Bian." This time, by a slim margin of 300,000 votes out of 12 million registered voters and an 83% voter turnout, Chen was handed the keys to the Presidential Palace. |
 | | Chen began his "acceptance speech" with a ringing declaration about how "the Republic of China's presidential election" had been successfully concluded, and how he had been elected, get this, "President of Taiwan." He did not refer to "the Republic of China" again. |
 | | I suggest however that Chen first state clearly what he is doing in advance, so voters can decide if those terms are acceptable to them, and Chen first establish a Republic of Taiwan before deciding he has a right to be its President. |
