Lien has not been sincere to people of Taiwan: Chen

[dArKeR]

President Chen Shui-bian (???) yesterday criticized Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Chairman Lien Chan as an insincere candi-date, saying that Lien not only concealed his assets to evade taxes, but even deceived the electorate in the election campaign itself.

Whether Lien lied during the televised presidential debate last Saturday is now becoming a hot issue on which the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) is developing its attacks, and Chen decided to fuel the fires personally.

In the book, Lien Advocates which Lien wrote himself, on page 22 it says, "On our view on `one China,' the KMT's position has never changed; we accept the goal of reunification." Then, on page 23, it says, "As far as methods of integration are concerned, the confederation is one which is worth considering; it preserves the notion that there are many possible routes to reunification."
