CORRECTION TO 'Triple Bluff over Taiwan' ARTICLE

In the seventh paragraph of the Taiwan piece, it is stated that the first
DPP government was elected in 1996.  In fact, the president elected in that

KMT (Nationalist) party, though he has been closely associated with the DPP
since leaving office.  The offending line can simply be changed to read
2000:  "The gradual democratisation of Taiwan led to the electoral defeat
of the long-ruling Nationalist Party in 2000 by the Democratic Progressive
Party...."
