#1 The result is likely to come as a relief to Beijing, which has been angry about Chen's pro-independence stance.

While China's politburo may be exultant over this upset, I remain confident of the fact that such a moderation of Taiwan's pro-independence movement being the result of democratic processes escapes them entirely.
