Academia Sinica president Lee Yuan-tseh (???) and former Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) chairman Lin Ying-hsiung (???) yesterday lent their support to President Chen Shui-bian (???), saying that only Chen can continue to facilitate the country's reform and defeat the counterattacks of the "black-gold" forces.

"During the past four years, there has been some progress in our country, such as the very strong ability of academic circles in promoting the country's development, the negative forces attempting to sink the entire society into depravity is still growing, as emphasized by the attempts to discredit me and the unfair allegations against me," Lee said yesterday, as he appeared alongside Chen in Taipei during a press conference.

"Considering that we must chose the candidate who can carry on reform and meet the expectations of the Taiwanese people," said Lee, "therefore I will again cast my ballot in favor of the DPP's Chen-Lu ticket, who may not be experienced, but have displayed more idealism, stronger motivation for reform and better flexibility."
