TAIWANESE PRESIDENT, VP SHOT IN LEAD-UP TO ELECTIONS: Both President Chen Shui-bian and Vice President Annette Lu survived the assassination attempt, and elections are proceeding as scheduled. (
CNN,
Bloomberg) There is yet no word as to whether China was involved in the attempt; the Chinese government has been quite belligerant in the past months to indicate its preference for Mr Shui-bian's opponent, who is less forceful a proponent for Taiwanese independence. The Chinese government is
refusing to comment on the assassination attempt.
