[edit] political transition

2000 was not the first transition of political parties in the ROC's history. see the color coding at: President_of_the_Republic_of_China#Presidents_of_the_Republic_of_China.2C_1912-1928--Jiang 21:08, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

But those were not transition from one political party to another, were they? — Instantnood 08:34, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

It would be misleading to limit ourselves to registered political parties, especially when it is hard to determine the exact status of a "registered" political party in the presence of many rival governments. A peaceful transition from one faction to another had occurred long before, when Sun Yat-sen voluntarily handed power over to Yuan Shikai. And this article is on Taiwan in particular, not the Republic of China in general. --Jiang 08:39, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Those are not political parties by any definition of political party. I, nevertheless, concur that this article is at the time being Taiwan-specific. — Instantnood 09:09, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
