	Asia Times Online - News from greater China; Hong Kong and Taiwan
		James Soong espouses a "one China under one roof" approach to cross-Strait relations, which is often interpreted as allowing a large amount of flexibility in interpreting Taiwan's international status in negotiations with China.
		As Soong finished ahead of Lien in the 2000 election, he seemed unlikely to embrace the role of second-fiddle to Lien in the largely ceremonial post of vice president.
		Although Lien and Soong are fighting for their political lives - and perhaps even their reputations - it would not be unfair to say there are some pan-blues who are praying Lien and Soong will concede the race, opening the way for political rejuvenation with new blood and new ideas.

		James Soong, head of Taiwan's second-largest opposition party, the People First Party, said he hoped to ease tensions between the two sides, which split in 1949 and have no official relations.
		Soong began his visit in the western city of Xi'an, an ancient imperial capital, and was to fly to Beijing next week to meet with Chinese President Hu Jintao.
		Government supporters have said Soong and Lien picked the wrong time to travel to China, because their trips came too soon after Beijing's legislature passed an anti-secession law in March, authorizing the use of force against the island if it moves to make its de facto independence permanent.

		Soong promised to discuss the situation, but dissident PFP legislators have not yet been invited to talk.
		Many legislators protested that Soong had refused to change his policies and directions, and at the same time was sending disappointing messages such as, "those who have opinions [contrary to the party line] are more than welcome to leave".
		In essence then, the compromise with the pan-green DPP is not the main misstep that has plunged the PFP into this crisis: many swing voters, unlike the diehard pan-blues, are pleased to see that political parties end their venomous factionalism to keep the economy rolling.
