Lee Teng-hui's Biography

Lee Teng-hui (simplified Chinese: 李登辉; traditional Chinese: 李登輝; pinyin: Lǐ Dēnghuī; born 15 January 1923) is a politician of Republic of China (commonly known as "Taiwan"). He was President of the Republic of China and Chairman of the Kuomintang (KMT) from 1988 to 2000. He presided over major advancements in democratic reforms including his own re-election which marked the first direct presidential election for the Republic of China. The first native Taiwanese to become ROC president and KMT chairman, Lee promoted the Taiwanese localization movement and led an aggressive foreign policy to gain diplomatic allies. Critics accused him of betraying the party he headed, secret support of Taiwanese independence, and involvement in corruption (black gold politics).
