Former president Lee Teng-hui (???) yesterday said the opposition parties lost the presidential election because they went against the Taiwanese people's pursuit of an independent Taiwanese identity and expectations of a younger leadership generation.
"If the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) cannot do a self-examination of its own problems and continues with the old leadership, it is dodging its problems and will eventually lose the competition in Taiwan's party politics," Lee said.
Lee said the KMT leaders' call for consolidating leadership was similar to what Chiang Kai-shek (???) had been doing early in the 1950s, which Lee said was irrelevant to the people's well-being.
