 | | Chun-hsiung Chang, Secretary-General of the Taiwan's ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and former premier in the government of President Chen Shui-bian (October 2000 to January 2002), led a high-ranking delegation on a visit to UCLA February 10. |
 | | In the discussion period UCLA faculty questioned Chang on whether the Taiwanese nationalist DPP was adequately sensitive to the multiethnic and multinational character of Taiwanese society, which in addition to native Taiwanese, and Chinese from the mainland, includes Hakka and other minorities. |
 | | There was also interest in the long-term prospects for unification with China, given that the DPP has historically urged the recognition of Taiwan as a separate country and denies that it has shared a long common history with China, pointing to the extended periods of Japanese domination of the island. |
