	Bambooweb: ROC presidential election, 2000
		The Election for the 10th-term President and Vice-President of the Republic of China (第十任中華民國總統、副總統選舉), the second ever direct elections for President and Vice President of the Republic of China on Taiwan and the 10th under the 1947 Constitution, were held on March 18, 2000.
		Having lost the 1996 election by a landslide, the DPP in May 1999 moderated it stance by issuing the "Resolution on the Future of Taiwan." The resolution accepted the status quo and promoted the moderate view that Taiwan was already independent, so any formal declaration would not be urgently necessary.
		Shortly before the election, the leaders of the People's Republic of China attempted to influence the outcome, warning that the PRC would not "sit idly by" if Taiwan moved towards independence and that "independence means war." This was thought to be counterproductive and the PRC avoided such saber-rattling in the 2004 elections.

		The outcome of the election, hence, is of major concern to both the PRC and the United States (albeit in rather different regards).
		Thus, the direct challenge to KMT political domination that the coming presidential election represents is a potential watershed in Taiwan’s politics and democratic evolution.
		Although supplemental elections that increased Taiwan’s representation in these bodies were held starting in 1969, the huge majorities of senior legislators continued through 1990, guaranteeing KMT control whether or not the party won on election day.

	The Story of Taiwan - Politics
		By the time the ROC held its first popular election for president and vice president in March 1996, the international community was hailing Taiwan's democratic reforms as a model for developing countries to emulate.
		The first election for members of the Taiwan Provincial Assembly were held in April 1957, and in December 1969, supplementary elections were held in the Taiwan area to elect 15 delegates to the National Assembly, 11 members to the Legislative Yuan, and two members to the Control Yuan.
		The second factor is the fact that the citizens of the ROC are blessed with a Confucian cultural background and the provident, cooperative, and diligent character that comes with it, and they have integrated the passion and vitality of political participation with reason and restraint.

		This split in the electorate was widely seen to have led to Chen's victory, and in the 2004 presidential election, Lien and Soong ran on a combined ticket (with Lien for president and Soong for vice president).

	Politics of the Republic of China Summary
		The ROC is governed under the Constitution of the Republic of China which was drafted in 1947 before the fall of Mainland China and outlined a government for all of China.
		Because it was impossible to hold subsequent elections to represent constituencies on the mainland, representatives elected in 1947-48 held these seats "indefinitely." In June 1990, however, the Council of Grand Justices mandated the retirement, effective December 1991, of all remaining "indefinitely" elected members of the National Assembly, Legislative Yuan, and other bodies.
		The aftermath of the 2000 Presidential election and the 2001 legislative election left the ROC fragmented among several political parties.

		In an election eerily similar to Taipei's in 1994, Chen won the 2000 presidential election on March 18 with only 39% of the vote as a result of a split of factions within the Kuomintang, when James Soong ran for the presidency as an independent against the party nominee Lien Chan.
		Throughout the election, Chen planned to hold a referendum in 2006 on a new constitution to be enacted upon the accession of the 12th-term president in May 2008.
		After the election, he sought to reassure critics and moderate supporters that the new constitution would not address the issue of sovereignty, and that the current constitution was in need of comprehensive reform after more than a decade of patchwork revision.

		A panel of three judges from the Taiwan High Court said in the judgment that the grounds on which the two plaintiffs claimed the presidential election should be invalidated could not stand up in court.
		As to the plaintiffs' claims that the first national referendum, held concurrently with the presidential election, gave Chen an unfair advantage, the court said that whether the referendum and presidential election could be held simultaneously should be determined by the Council of Grand Justices through an interpretation of the Constitution.
		In regard to the mysterious shooting of Chen on the eve of election day, the court said there is no evidence to substantiate the plaintiffs' claim that the government kept an unreasonably large number of police and military personnel on duty as a result of the shooting, thereby stripping them of their right to vote.

		The primary purpose of the "assassination attempt" was to serve as a smoke screen for election fraud, allowing Chen to falsely attribute his unbelievable and implausible Reversal of Fortune to "sympathy votes" instead of creative accounting by the Central Election Committee.
		These citizens of the ROC were ordered to remain on duty all day election day, denying them their constitutionally guaranteed right to vote.
		Were ROC citizens to hold Chen to the same high standards that ROK citizens held Roh, Chen would have been impeached a hundred times since he assumed office on May 20, 2000.

	Birding In Taiwan - About Taiwan
		The ROC government, led by Chiang Kai-shek (1887–1975) and the Kuomintang (or Nationalist Party), was forced to retreat to Taiwan, and its jurisdiction became limited to Taiwan, Penghu (Pescadores), Kinmen (Quemoy), Matsu (Matzu, Mazu), and the Pratas (Dongsha) Islands.
		In 1987, the ROC lifted martial law and began a series of democratizing reforms, winning widespread attention and praise from the international community; these culminated in 1996 with the first ever direct election for president.
		In the 2000 presidential election, the Democratic Progressive Party emerged victorious and took over power from the Kuomintang, which had ruled Taiwan for more than 50 years; Taiwan thereby reached the milestone of a peaceful and democratic transfer of power between political parties.

	E-Notes: The Aftermath of Taiwan’s Presidential Election: A Symposium Report - FPRI
		It looked as if the 2004 election would go to the pan-Blue (KMT and PFP) alliance’s ticket of the two candidates who together had garnered the majority of the votes cast in the three-way presidential election of 2000 that Chen had won with a 40% share.
		Pan-Blue presidential candidate Lien Chan (KMT) is a notoriously poor campaigner with high “negative” ratings in public opinion polls; vice presidential hopeful James Soong (PFP) is more skilled and enjoyed higher overall public approval, but his negative ratings with significant segments of the electorate limited his usefulness.
		His opponents had to fight the election on his issues, summarized by the slogan, “Taiwan, Yes!” Unable to make Taiwan’s troubled economy or government performance the issue, Lien and Soong spent much of the campaign defending themselves against claims that they were insufficiently committed to Taiwan and too willing to get too close to China.

		The foreign media has reported that a new Russian-built Sovremenney-class destroyer is slated to sail through the Taiwan Strait in the early morning hours on Saturday on its way from Saint-Petersburg, where it departed on Dec. 25, to a mainland Chinese naval base in the southeastern province of Zejian.
		Stressing that they have been closely monitoring all mainland Chinese military movements, ROC military authorities predicted that the Sovremenney-class destroyer will sail through the west side of the strait as other PRC naval ships have in the past, using the cover of darkness to prevent the ROC military from taking photos and collecting information.
		The ROC Air Force has adopted a low-profile approach toward the purchase and delivery of the special plane which will be incorporated into its "administrative aircraft squadron," exclusively serving the president, vice president and other high-ranking officials.
