Lee Teng-hui (Chinese: 李登輝; Taiwanese Romanization: Lí Teng-hui; pinyin: Lǐ DÄ“nghuÄ«; born January 15, 1923) is a politician in the Republic of China on Taiwan.
Lee was accused by supporters within his party and by supporters of James Soong for purposely splitting the vote by running the uncharismatic Lien instead of the popular Soong, who was subsequently expelled from the KMT for launching an independent campaign.
Lee has also stated that he believes that Taiwan cannot avoid being assimilated into the People's Republic of China unless it completely rejects a Chinese identity, and that he believes that it is essential that Taiwanese unite and develop a unified identity other than the Chinese one.

Lee Teng-hui was born in Taiwan (on January 15, 1923), unlike many in Taiwan's political hierarchy who fled to the island in the late 1940s as the Communists seized the mainland.
Lee managed to rise above the discrimination and constraints aimed at native Taiwanese to become a political star, a trusted figure in the inner circle of President Chiang Ching-kuo, the son of the legendary Nationalist leader Chiang Kai-shek.
With U.S.-China relations at their lowest in years, some observers say Lee decided the time was ripe for his government to raise itself to an equal footing with Beijing by demanding that future dealings between the mainland and the island be conducted on a state-to-state basis.
