Richard: Re: " My friend says that it will be very difficult for the new president to "control" the country because of the wide differences of views and opinions between political parties..."

Your friend is perceptive on this point. Everyone seems to be focused on the China conflict potential but there is another threat which may turn out more pressing at the moment and that is the threat from within. Two thirds of the Taiwanese are not happy campers because they did not vote for Chen. It will be difficult for Chen to govern. And there have been riots for the past two days outside the Nationalist Party headquarters.
