In the spirit of cooperation and amity, the new president appointed a KMT member to be his premier and sought to create an "all people's government" composed of both ruling and opposition party members. But that experiment ended when the premier resigned on October 3 due to bad health. Now, with both a DPP president and a DPP premier at the helm, Taiwan enters a new era of governance and party politics. How will this impact the political environment in Taiwan? Will U.S.-Taiwan relations be affected? 8:30 a.m. Registration 9:00 Opening Remarks Speakers: King-yu Chang, Eurasian Foundation Arthur N.
