 Why Lee Yuan-tseh could say yes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)

If Lee has decided that reform can only come though the government, and that the KMT can never bring it about, and given his previous relationship with Chen, it would be logical to assume the way he might be thinking.
