Chang cabinet resignation was withdrawn the case because "the maintenance of political stability." Chang's second time as a "caretaker."
In the cross-strait and foreign policy, although Chen Shui-bian of Taiwan independence is a strong political figure, but in Communist China and the United States and other parties under the pressure of his May 20, 2000 inaugural address proposed the "four noes" commitment to a certain extent, temporarily easing worries about his Communist China, when Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji to respond to the "four noes", the CPC Chen Shui-bian will "listen to his words and deeds."

June 27, 2006 vote, the DPP legislator does not approach the strong mobilization of the party vote, the TSU will mobilize collective investment invalidated, so although the Chinese Kuomintang, the People First Party and non-party legislators are voting in favor, but the voting The results still can not exceed the statutory threshold of two-thirds of the "recall the president declared" non-establishment, which is not another place in the presidential recall referendum. July 15, 2006, the majority of pro-green and academics, published "Taiwan's democratic politics and moral identity crisis" statement (seven hundred and fifteen declaration), called for the resignation of President Chen Shui-bian seriously consider that if Chen Shui-bian to resign for Taiwan's democracy establish a rare example. Since August 2006, after media reports of possible abuse of state affairs fund and the first first lady Wu Shu-chen and her large jewelry dubious origin countries paid housekeeper branch collar scandals, the former Democratic Progressive Party Chairman Shih Ming-teh to mobilize the masses to raise money. Shih originally agreed to a peaceful sit-in way to launch a "million people fell flat movement", demanding that President Chen Shui-bian to step down, however, the situation intensified participation of public sentiment fell flat in the Shih and many more passionate speeches of politicians. Evolved into the history of Taiwan unprecedented millions of people took to the streets to protest the first family of corruption, was again moved to Taipei Main Station, and then the siege, and finally call the NPA Baojing disperse outside the county. Chang Cabinet (second) In May 2007, replacing the resigning Su Tseng-chang, re-skillet as Premier, his cabinet ministers Su period only slightly changes. January 2008, breaking the constitutional convention: Chang cabinet (or as directed by Chen Shui-bian) prior to January 24 in accordance with the constitutional practice resignation, but on January 29 the case of withdrawal of resignation (or as directed by Chen Shui-bian), all cabinet officials completely as usual. Chang reason to withdraw the Cabinet resignation case is "to maintain political stability." Second Zhang cabinet as "caretaker." The "Executive Yuan took office in the new Cabinet should resign before lawmakers' constitutional convention first appeared in 1992 tsun Cabinet, word by Grand Justices Interpretation No. 387 in October 1995 to establish a formal interpretation of the constitutional validity; 1997 amendments to the Additional Articles of the Constitution, the President may, without any countersignature to appoint the premier, but the origins of more than ten years as Chief Dean abide by this constitutional convention were, without exception - until Chang's second Cabinet. Foreign Policy In the strait and foreign policy, although the concept of independence Chen Shui-bian is a strong political figure, but he made under the pressure of the CPC and the United States and other parties on May 20, 2000 inaugural address, "four noes" of commitment to a certain extent, temporarily eased concerns about his Communist China, when the Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji responded "four noes" Chen CCP will "listen to his words and deeds." Year after Chen Shui-bian, "each side" theory, because the Chinese government does not recognize political entity by the People's Republic of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu democratic elections arising as a sovereign and independent country, so these declaration made by the Chinese government strongly against Chen Shui-bian protest, then the people of Taiwan Chen Shui-bian in accordance with the requirements of the termination of the "National Unification Guidelines." March 4, 2007, when Chen Shui-bian to attend the dinner Taiwanese Public Affairs published "Four to a no," or "Taiwan wants independence, Taiwan wants Zhengming, Taiwan wants a new constitution, Taiwan to develop; no so-called left and right route problem, only single system problems. " However, he also indicated that, for some people folk during his presidency of the Republic of China to the Republic of Taiwan, said the country "to change the country, should be changed to the current name of the country the Republic of Taiwan, Republic of China, must be three-quarters of MPs agree to the current situation, support the DPP government's less than half of parliament seats, not to mention reaching three-quarters, which is impossible. Even with these ideas, but the objective environment is can not do, and I can not lie to ourselves, nor be able to deceive others, I can not do that. " Chen Shui-bian in foreign policy, has launched a "diplomatic war" policy, with plenty 金援友 states, and actively playing diplomatic ties with China battle, 31 the number of diplomatic allies of the ROC government when Chen Shui-bian took office, reduced to 25 to step down when. Chen ruling late, broke out about Jinyuan You states "PNG case," Foreign Minister James Huang led to the resignation, "diplomatic war" main manipulators jen subject to judicial review, and prosecutors have been taken into custody. Since Chen's foreign policy changing, often broken promises, and continue to provoke the Chinese Communists sensitive nerves, manufacturing Taiwan Strait crisis, has also led to strained relations with Communist China and the U.S. Government with the Chen Shui-bian is classified as a "troublemaker" (troublemaker). According to the DPP veteran Lin Cho revealed that Bush hated Chen Shui-bian, and in March 2008, when the Asian and Pacific Affairs at the White House to discuss a cabinet meeting, U.S. President George W. Bush has also criticized Chen Shui-bian is "son of a bitch" (SOB). Chen also like to "transit diplomacy" approach to transit in different locations of the United States, the United States received the level of specification, as demonstrated Taiwan-US relations, but because of the deterioration of Taiwan-US relations during Chen Shui-bian, Chen Shui-bian's transit place from May 2001 Month transit "highest level" place in New York and a high standard of hospitality, to 2006, the U.S. only allows transit "low-level" locations in Alaska, and there is no reception, which led to the temporary Chen decided to give transit the United States, bypassing the Western Hemisphere plane, also occurred halfway aircraft landing site can not be found, not fueling confusion, and finally to South America. Chen Shui-bian last visit to Central and South America, the United States did not transit planning. Chen's attitude in terms of cross-strait economic and cultural exchanges, but also from "active opening, effective management" to "active management, effective opening", the media will be expelled from the mainland to Taiwan. Chen Shui-bian during the entire ruling, the long-term cross-strait relations in the doldrums, Taiwan-US relations have been worsening, Economic and trade policy On economic issues, although some people in Taiwan business circles expressed the hope that Taiwan and mainland China, "three links" to promote cross-strait economic and trade exchanges, but he also worries that due to Taiwan's national security, we must reduce economic dependence on the Chinese mainland, it is considered the government should not actively promote the short term. To replace westward policy, Chen also made "south" policy, and to encourage Taiwan to invest in Southeast Asia. In the 2006 New Year's Day speech, Chen proposed using "active management, effective opening" mainland economic policy to replace the previous "active opening, effective management", which criticized the KMT is "Door Policy" to allow Taiwan's rapid economic recession. Speech expressed the same year the Spring Festival, said to have been shelved for six years to consider the abolition of the National Unification Council and National Unification Guidelines, and in promoting the name of the Republic of China to the United Nations after many years still fails, change the name of Taiwan to join. But in the international arena, the abolition of the National Unification Guidelines and the National Unification Council is contrary to his "four noes" commitments "one does not" bar item, was strongly criticized the pan-blue parties. The U.S. State Department on January 30 in a presentation, the initiative issued a statement against Chen Shui-bian's New Year talk, reiterated the U.S. policy toward Taiwan, "one China, and Taiwan Relations and the three communiques," opposed to any unilateral move to change the status quo, and said "abolition of the National Unification Council and National Unification Guidelines" as Beijing's anti-secession law also unilaterally change the status quo. February 27, 2006, after the revision of the terms, President Chen Shui-bian announced the termination of the operation of the National Unification Council, the National Unification Guidelines ceased to apply, the official People do this vigorously attacked, but the United States also hopes Beijing authorities to this end, "Do not act rashly "while the United States has also demanded that the Taiwan authorities say really clear 楚其国 Commission to terminate and cancel its operation, even after repeatedly asked the two sides do not want to change the status quo by either party to the detriment of its U.S. interests. . Join the United Nations under the name Taiwan July 19, 2007, the three countries, such as the Permanent Representative of Solomon Islands to the United Nations Secretariat to the United Nations addressed to the Secretary by President Chen Shui-bian letter, that "in the name of Taiwan joining the United Nations," the application, but it was returned to the United Nations immediately on the grounds that only the United Nations accepting the application of new national non-UN member states to join the case, and that Taiwan is part of China, not a country, the legal status of the Republic of China in the United Nations, has been replaced by the People's Republic, it is inadmissible. UN deputy spokesman Okabe Miles River Post that: "Taiwan by two United Nations Member States to apply to join the UN case, because of a violation of the United Nations General Assembly resolution on 2758, so the letter can not be accepted, and returned by the United Nations Office of Legal Affairs." Chen Shui-bian to promote "Taiwan joining the United Nations under the name" The referendum proposal, causing the United States and Communist China of high tension. Former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell personally come to Taiwan, shows that the U.S. position that the U.S. position has not changed, the United States reiterated the three Sino-US joint communique establishing diplomatic relations, reiterating the "one China principle" and oppose Taiwan independence, cross-strait issues must be accepted by people on both sides can The peaceful _set_tlement, the United States believes "Taiwan," "Republic of China" is not a country. White House National Security Council Director for Asian Affairs Wilder: The United States found that the DPP "Taiwan" in the name of promoting a referendum on joining the United practice, a little confusing. He said that due to the current situation in Taiwan, could not join the United Nations, it will only increase tension in cross-strait relations, "to promote the referendum, what is the use?" So the United States considers unnecessary. Political pundits believe that there are many Taiwan, Chen Shui-bian to promote the referendum proposal, purely ethnic incitement, provocation on both sides, manufacturing Sadness, fight for the Democratic Progressive Party ballot behavior. KMT to boycott the referendum proposal, and launched a "return to the UN under the name Republic of China," the referendum proposal, the final result, the DPP's "referendum on UN," KMT "back UN referendum" are not in force beyond 50% threshold. Resigned from the party chairman In January 12, 2008 the 2008 ROC Legislative Yuan elections, the DPP's call for a stable pan-green basic disk, look Congress slogan fifty seats, but the election results DPP suffered the biggest defeat since the founding, The total number of seats in the district and regional legislators not only obtained 27 seats, the Democratic Progressive Party, who is also chairman of the Democratic Progressive Party's Chen Shui-bian announced his resignation from the presidency.

As July 28, 2009 Public Prosecutor Sylvia Lin not only collected evidence cited Chinese Song Dynasty Emperor Taizong of the words: "Er Er Lu Feng, flesh and blood, in people prone child, God is difficult to bully" Batch flat, and cited a large batch of flat media reports as the basis of its credibility that have been challenged.

However, August 14, 2008 press conference held legislator Hung Hsiu-chu, exposing Huang Jui accounts in Switzerland with its four individuals and the name of the company founded suspicions of money laundering because the Swiss Federal Prosecutor's Office who were frozen and sent a letter to Taiwan's request for judicial assistance initiative .

His words immediately detonated in Taiwan society and lead to noise and then a large wave of public opinion in Taiwan lambasting, the Special Investigation Unit of the Prosecutor initiated investigations. November 11, 2008, the Special Investigation Unit Communications as a defendant Chen Shui-bian, after five hours of interrogation, the Taipei District Court claims custody Chen. November 12, 2008 in the morning 7:00, unanimously adopted detain Chen Chen from detention custody acoustic events, for two consecutive days to capture the world's mainstream media headlines or news header. In the prosecution's investigation, have to chase the suspect has a number of corruption cases, the source of its funding relationship with officials and businessmen are giving and receiving one exposure, but Chen insisted that all funds are all a political contribution, not corruption, is still in the courts so far the. Reception hunger strike on three occasions so far, but can not notice as his own insistence in the end, the prosecution on August 4, 2009 to reject all defendants plea bargain.

In addition to state affairs fund is widely regarded as the history of the industry, other cases such as the Longtan land purchase, etc. There were no direct evidence to prove guilt Chen Shui-bian, Chen denied that many witnesses are directed. Such policies as the main system to the Executive Yuan layers of review decision, under normal circumstances is difficult to specific civil sentenced. This trial is the biggest impact and the lack of funds or liabilities Democratic Progressive Party, the more difficult the higher the amount raised through the single party political donations to fight the production of hundreds of billions of Chinese Kuomintang, the imbalance appeared on such resources in a variety of Election propaganda and political patronage arrangements, through media buying unbiased news industry also caused a greater impact, leading to the democratization process in Taiwan young real democratic one-party dominance retrogression intensified.

But Cohen also said that "many cases involving money, disgusts me." Flat and their families break the law, should be subject to legal sanctions, but the judicial process must be fair in order to cause convinced. He said that if the proposed flat "no escape" and to ensure that judges should agree discharged from custody, so flat well prepared to defend himself. Cohen said that the respondent in the detention center shut ready, "like one arm tied behind his back to fighting with people, it is very difficult." Outcome of the trial is being questioned foreign media reported that economic man called "judicial missing shame" (a shame about the judicial flaws). In addition to Taiwan media attention Cohen, a number of overseas familiar with Taiwan affairs heavyweight experts are expressing concerns about Taiwan's judicial system considerably, but as Cohen general content directly to the trial judge.
