SOUNDBITE (Mandarin) Chen Shui-bian, Taiwan President: "Some people think that since this time we chose former president Li Yuan-zu to attend APEC unofficial leader's summit, next time we might send former president Lee Teng-hui. This is just an imagination - an exaggeration. We are very simple." 9. Room 10. Chen 11. SOUNDBITE (Mandarin) Chen Shui-bian, Taiwan President "I want to tell Chairman Jiang Zemin that he needs to see Taiwan with better understanding, with a correct view. We are a polarised society with different political parties. You cannot regard Taiwan society as chaotic because media presents different views and our congressmen have very different opinions as well." 12. Chen listening to question 13.

After the year-end elections, we will propose to form a coalition government. We will not release the executive power and the right to form the cabinet. However, we will form a coalition government through party to party negotiations and open dialogues." 16.

But Chen Shui-bian said Washington had pledged to help protect the democratic island's interests. Since the September 11 attacks, Sino-US relations have been improving as Washington seeks Beijing's support in battling terrorists. There has been much speculation that America -Taiwan's most important friend - might be tempted to reward China for its assistance by being less friendly to the Taiwanese. Chen Shui-bian told APTN that he believed Beijing hoped to link the Taiwan issue with the anti-terrorist campaign. "But we are comforted to know that the US has taken a very clear position," said Chen, adding that the US Secretary of State and the National Security Adviser had recently said US support for Taiwan would not change. China and Taiwan have been ruled separately since the Communist Party took over the mainland in 1949. Beijing is eager for unification and has threatened war if Taiwan indefinitely postpones the issue. The United States has long been Taiwan's most likely defender if China ever attacks. The Taiwanese closely monitor Sino-US relations, looking for signs that America is developing a bias for China. During the past year, some Chinese leaders have displayed new confidence that Taiwan's economic woes and domestic political feuding have weaken the island, giving Beijing a new edge in its push for unification. But Chen said that the communist leadership did not understand the island's democracy and the Taiwanese - courageous people who had overcome incredible hardship and limitations. "We are still sitting here surviving, and we do firmly believe and we have the confidence that time is on our side," Chen said.
