Taiwan: U.S. Reaction to Changes in Government

Question:   What is our reaction to President Chen’s decision to turn over some of his governing and political party authority/powers to the Premier?

Answer:   This is an internal matter for the Taiwan people. We are confident that Taiwan’s democratic society is strong and secure, and we anticipate Taiwan’s executive officials will clarify matters in keeping with constitution and law.

The policy of the United States toward Taiwan remains unchanged. Our interest is in maintaining stability across the Taiwan Strait and seeing a democratic and prosperous Taiwan.
