Chen Shui-bian
Chen Shui-bian is a Taiwanese politician who served as the President of Taiwan from 2000 to 2008. He was the first president not from the Kuomintang party, representing the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), which advocates for Taiwan's independence. His presidency was marked by significant political reforms and a focus on asserting Taiwan's sovereignty in the face of pressure from China. Chen's administration faced challenges including cross-strait relations and domestic issues, and after leaving office, he faced legal troubles that led to his conviction on corruption charges. His legacy remains contentious, reflecting the complex dynamics of Taiwanese identity and politics.
