TAIPEI: The deep political split in Taiwan's society has become a crisis, President Chen Shui-bian said yesterday, two days after hundreds of activists protesting his narrow re-election battled police here.
Chen pledged to try to repair the division as he spoke to a group of university students who were highly critical of his re-election campaign. The president narrowly won the March 20 vote, which has been challenged by opposition candidate Lien Chan.
