Shelley Rigger on Taiwan's political paralysis. I think she blames the KMT and PFP too much and Chen Shui-bian not enough.
But it's clear that with friends like Lee Teng-hui, Chen doesn't need enemies. Lee Teng-hui first chose Lien Chan as his successor, then plotted against him, supporting Chen, then set up the TSU, and is now criticizing Chen for his efforts to reform Taiwan's credit unions and looking for an opponent for Chen. The pro-DPP Taipei Times has an editorial defending Chen. Meanwhile Lien Chan and PFP Chairman James Soong are expected to demonstrate alongside farmers and fishermen protesting the reforms.
