All Americans celebrate the remarkable political journey from autocracy to democracy that Taiwan has made in recent years. Taiwan's presidential election in March signalled that Taiwan has joined the ranks of full-figured democracy. Taiwan stands as an inspiration and an example for other Asian peoples who do not yet fully enjoy the fruits of political freedom. The people of Taiwan deserve our commendation and our congratulations. So, too, does President Lee, whose inauguration yesterday promises a new day not only for Taiwanese democracy but also for improved relations between Taiwan and mainland China.
