| Abstract | In Taiwan, Chen Shui-bian was giving his year-end press conference when dozens of prostitutes crashed the party for Chen's banning legal brothels. According to Chen and his backers, the protest is not about prostitution but about wrecking his political career. The Kuomintang will take any chance it can get to erode Mayor Chen's popularity. The article describes the conflict between the Chen's Democratic Progressive Party (DDP) and the Kuomintang with the New Party. |
