In forming a new government, Chang said, Chen has sought advice from prestigious scholars and business leaders without records of political corruption. Chen has also disregarded party politics and will make appointments based on the person's ability. In governing in this way, Chang hopes Chen will foster peace. He wants to visit mainland China and invite the leadership to visit Taiwan and resume a political dialogue with representatives from both countries. Many are awaiting the next step for Chen, who failed for re-election as mayor of Taipei but succeeded in the presidential election.
Expectations are high for the new president.
This can form a smooth transition from the Kuomintang into a pure democracy.
