| Power Points | He was never going to go quietly, but Lee's last year as president was marked by his noisiest China-baiting yet. Declaring Taiwan and the PRC "equals" that deserve a "state-to-state" relationship, Lee sent a ripple of apoplexy through Beijing's corridors of power. But it was his quieter moves that had most impact. Lee is seen as having helped Chen Shui-bian to win the presidential election. If China's leaders thought an opposition victory would at least mean the end of the wily Lee, they were sorely mistaken.
