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.
