President of the period
In an independent court system, as the ROC head of state, the ruling KMT party chairman, Lee Teng-hui on behalf of the ROC government to recognize the PRC as a political entity, and in public many times to show to achieve the ideal of the reunification of China Three People's Principles . February 1988, after his successor's first press conference, said: "There is only one China, not two-China policy. There is only one China, we must unify China Three People's Principles." In October 1990, Lee also said that : "There is only one China should be unified, we must unify China Three People's Principles, any Chinese person can not remain outside the" Three Principles of the unification of China, "the responsibility, should not remain outside the efforts to unify China Three People's Principles" . In 1991, Lee Teng-hui, under the auspices of the National Unification Council adopted the "National Unification Guidelines" (National Unification Council, "National Unification Guidelines" in February 2006 was when President Chen Shui-bian ordered the termination of the operation, termination applicable), in the "National Unification Guidelines ", in order to appease the conservative mainlanders, that read," Taiwan is a part of China, the mainland is part of China "that argument. ROC National Day in 1995, so he said: "The reason we fight for 40 years, is the Three People's Principles for the future reunification of China set an example to follow." In addition, he has also met with U.S. Congressman Campbell (Tom Campbell II), when that "'Taiwan independence' will ruin the country's good future, the expense of social stability and prosperity, this is not possible, nor desirable, we Three People's Principles of China should be unified, "such words.
However, he spoke in some occasions, has expressed the sense of Taiwan independence. April 1994, he accepted the visit of the famous Japanese writer Shiba Ryotaro, when Sima spoke of "local pain," he said, who was born in Bosnia, it is too bad.

- Quote from "Chiang Ching-kuo and Lee Teng-hui"
"Unlike the National Unification Guidelines as well as the Three Principles of unified China, the KMT's policy unilaterally declared, in fact, history is the fact that the communist regime in 1949 after the establishment of the PRC has never ruled Taiwan under the jurisdiction of the Republic of China, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu. our constitutional amendment in 1991, upgrading the provisions of Article X (now Article) The Constitution limits the area covered in Taiwan, and recognize the People's Republic of legitimacy of the rule in the mainland; Additional Articles first four specify that the Legislative Yuan and National Assembly shall elect the members only from the people of Taiwan ... ... to construct the national agencies represent only the people of Taiwan, the legitimacy of state power can only come from the ruling People's Republic of China mandate has nothing to do with the people's Republic of China. 1991, constitutional amendments have cross-strait relations as a state and national, or at least special state to state relations, rather than a legitimate government and a renegade group, or a central government and a local government's "one China" internal relations. So, now that the end of the war, the Government of the Republic of China The People's Republic of China as a "renegade province", there is ignorant of the facts of history and law. "
In 1999, outgoing President Lee Teng-hui in the entire previous year, published "Taiwan's favor," a book, released after Japanese and English. The book discussed many Taiwan-US-Japan relations, the Taiwan Strait relations describing two: First, the definition of Taiwan as the Republic of China on Taiwan; two separate parts of China for seven (Taiwan, Tibet, Xinjiang, Mongolia, South China, North China, Northeast), their development of competition in order to maintain stability. The latter that caused an uproar on the seven regions of China. But in fact the former has long been heard, which is also not his first.
In 2000, though it was Lee Teng-hui, Lien Chan, Siew electioneering, but as James Soong left the party with the blue, and Chang Chao-hsiung as his deputy to presidential and vice presidential candidates; Although the Lien-Siew Soong other two candidates plus up the majority of votes, the final is DPP's Chen Shui-bian to "relative majority", in accordance with the provisions of the Election and Recall Law was elected the 10th president (see the 2000 presidential election, the Republic of China). Since the election of Chen Shui-bian, Lee Teng-hui achieved outgoing "Any peaceful transfer of power within the" ideal. KMT's election as opposition parties. After the election defeat, the KMT soon emerged calling for Lee to resign as party chairman to take responsibility for the sound. This part of the veteran party members from other provinces considered as KMT Party Chairman Lee Teng-hui caused a split in recent years, and believe that Lee secretly supported the party's rival Chen Shui-bian, Lien Chan of the claim but had not reviewed it with the mainstream opinion in Taiwan contrary, Ta Men once surrounded the headquarters of the Kuomintang in the special district gather to express their protest and anger. September 2000, in James Soong announced after the non-party political party, the Kuomintang Party Chairman Lee Teng-hui will post to the Lien Agent. September 21, 2001, the Chinese Nationalist Party to withdraw its party.
Outgoing president Lee Teng-hui is hoping to be as a pastor, for the benefit of the people. Leaving more than a year, he said, "Republic of China" this sign in the international community has long been removed, and Taiwan should accelerate the name, the Republic of the old signs off. Republic of China, the first change in ruling parties, because the DPP government announced that the fourth nuclear plant shutdown Yi Shi provoked a serious confrontation between ruling and opposition parties, the KMT also proposed working hours for two weeks 84 hours also raised the case of SMEs, the main dissatisfaction, political unrest the country at National Chengchi University affected. The retired former President Lee Teng-hui by the national chairman of the Manufacturers Association of Huang Zongyuan army and the Shin Kong Group Eric Wu, etc. to form a new political party, combined with the KMT faction and some local people set up the Green side of the Taiwan Solidarity Union (TSU). Although the name Lee has left the political arena, but still used by many participants in the Taiwan independence movement as the movement's spiritual leader. 21 September, 2001, Lien Chan of the Chinese Nationalist Party led by the Central Examination Disciplinary Committee (KMT Kaoji Council) to "Comrade Lee Teng-hui publicly criticized the party, combined with other associations and political parties against the party, its words and actions seriously violated party discipline" to remove Lee's party. September 2002, Lee Teng-hui publicly that Diaoyutai Japan's territory, ownership should belong to Japan's Okinawa Prefecture, causing widespread controversy. At present, the PRC Government and the Government of the Republic of China on Taiwan have claimed sovereignty over Diaoyutai. 2005, has visited Japan, the United States.
January 31, 2007, Lee accepted TVBS interview, he said, he does not pursue independence, because Taiwan is in fact a sovereign independent state. He further explained that the pursuit of Taiwan independence is a step backward, and dangerous practice; because this practice is not only downgraded the independent country of Taiwan, harm the autonomy of Taiwan, will cause the United States, the mainland a lot of disturbances. He stressed that some people now call Taiwan independence, only to struggle for power. He also criticized, "It (the Democratic Progressive Party government) more powerful black gold."
March 2008, Lee Teng-hui eve of the vote in the presidential election, expressed support for the DPP presidential candidate Frank Hsieh. Lee said: "He is to promote the democratization of Taiwan's people are the masters, his concern is not the blue-green, but of how Taiwan should go out and deepen Taiwan's democracy. He will vote for Frank Hsieh, one vote, as the election results He respected the choice of the people of Taiwan. "
Evaluate
President Lee Teng-hui in his tenure (1988 -2000), the KMT's long dominance of one-party situation is gradually changing towards the democratic development of the concrete realization of the Sun for the ROC president and vice president, and Taipei and Kaohsiung municipalities, and directly elected provincial governor of Taiwan's constitutional philosophy, and the reform of the Constitution and the Congress. During the liberation of the ideas, information and academic political constraints, this process was praised as a "quiet revolution", many people in Taiwan and abroad have given a positive evaluation, Lee Teng-hui as a promoter and was due to Taiwan's "democracy "Father," Mr. Democracy "and reputation. Samuel Huntington has a speech in Taiwan, "democracy for generations to come," said President Lee Teng-hui of Taiwan to bring freedom and creativity in promoting the democratization of influence, will be retained behind him with . However, there are changes from the political atmosphere to observe, the late Lee Teng-made, in order to compete with the old Nationalist forces absorbed by local factions for the political team, led the local mafia and private industrial and commercial power of a centralized, always affect the stability of the Republic of China and accurate economic construction, especially filled with serious money politics (money politics) in the community; and that Lee Teng-hui and Lien Chan, the Cabinet, should the various officials and businessmen since the 1990s, illicit transfer of benefits between the intense responsibility.
Lee Teng-hui to promote the localization effort to evaluate the particular tend to polarize. After President Lee Teng-hui took office, to tolerate opposition KMT - the Democratic Progressive Party advocates Taiwan independence, expanding, and accept political opponents within the party compete with the local consciousness. Some people think that he was "a half" party chairman, that "a" DPP chairman added, "half" party chairman. Japanese novel "Notes on Taiwan" to Taiwan's strong reveals his inner spirit, example: Exodus, the KMT is a foreign government in the past have not slept a good sleep at night, replacing military strongman Hau Pei-tsun as he is so. Balanced view of those who believe that Lee Teng-hui despite the support of Taiwan's name, but his efforts to re-thinking of traditional Chinese civilization and cultural systems, have joined forces to safeguard the principal of the Republic of China. The so-called "Taiwan in the body of" the Republic of China presidential term, he vigorously promote the Chinese Cultural Renaissance Movement, to support the level of scientific research to enhance the traditional allies with the United States and Japan to strengthen ties, retiring after the normalization of the development of Taiwan's national expression of support Many are thus highly regarded Lee. Former president and was expelled from the KMT, the Republic of China Lee Teng-hui is still the political arena, people concerned about the affairs of state one of the key indicators.
