The Legislative Yuan is contemplating a referendum on independence. To this date, Mainland China considers the island a “renegade province” and reserves the right to bring it under control.
Shui-bian is expected to seek a new term in the next presidential election, but is yet to name a vice-presidential nominee. Two defeated candidates from the 2000 contest –Lien Chan of Kuomintang and James Soong of the People First Party– announced an alliance and are expected to run on a joint-ticket. The election will take place on Mar. 20, 2004.
