 Asia Times: The shark's return could bloody Taiwan's waters
TAIPEI - Tuesday in Taiwan saw the formal announcement that a new political party, backed by former president Lee Teng-hui and under the day-to-day leadership of Huang Chu-wen, a former minister of the interior and Lee loyalist, is to formally register its establishment on Monday, July 31.
The new party, the Taiwan Solidarity Union (TSU) is the direct result of the change in direction of the Kuomintang (KMT), of which Lee used to be chairman until a disastrous performance by the party's candidate, Lien Chan, in last year's presidential election led to Lee's ouster.
That his particular embrace of the reunificationist cause, the party's willingness to enter into talks with China and the invitation to rejoin the party extended to the mainlander ousted by Lee in the mid-1990s would annoy ethnic Taiwanese in the party was also inevitable.
