Chairman elect of Taiwan's main opposition Democratic Progressive Party Lin Yi-hsiung, in an interview with Reuters in Taipei June 16,[ urges Washington and Beijing not to use Taiwan as a bargaining chip during a late June summit between U.S. President Bill Clinton and Chinese President Jiang Zemin. Lin's Democratic Progressives, a banned underground dissident group before martial law was lifted in 1987, opposes Taiwan's reunification with China and advocates its eventual independence -- an outcome Beijing regularly vows to thwart, by force of arms if necessary.]
