Chen updates cross-strait `guidelines'

Unlike last month, when he appeared unhappy in the presence of Chen at a wedding last month, Lee seemed to be in a good mood yesterday, talking to Chen for about 30 minutes before joining the event.

According to senior adviser to the president Koo Kwang-ming (辜寬敏), Lee was "quite satisfied" with Chen's explanation for the government's handling of recent cross-strait problems.

Lee spent most of his speech criticizing the "collusion" of pan-blue-camp leaders with China, adding that the most dangerous enemies were those leaders who benefited from the contact.

"They are ignorant of the fact that they are trapped in the snare of a unification war," Lee said.
