The Senate passed the same resolution with only one vote against.\u003cbr/\u003eLee's trip to the US will mark a significant shift by Washington which for years has stonewalled requests by senior Taiwanese officials for permission to visit.\u003cbr/\u003eThis stance dated back to America's recognition of Beijing in 1979.\u003cbr/\u003eChina has regarded Taiwan's Republic Of China as a troublesome, unfriendly state since the end of the Chinese Civil War in 1949.\u003cbr/\u003eDuring his six day stay in the US, Lee will be treated in a manner befitting a head of state but will not meet with government officials. \u003cbr/\u003eLee, who received a doctorate in economics from Cornell University in 1968, has been invited to attend Cornell's alumni reunion weekend to receive an honorary degree.\u003cbr/\u003eCornell first invited Lee to give a lecture last year, but the United States refused entry. Lee was also refused an overnight visa for Honolulu earlier this year while on his way to central America.\u003cbr/\u003eRepublic China on Taiwan has changed quite dramatically in the last 14 years. The same is true with the bilateral relationship between Taiwan and Chinese Mainland. So, the United States simply could not continue to follow the guidelines which were set 14 or 15 years ago. We have a new reality, and the new reality is, or requires that all the parties involved should adjust or alter the policies which they used to practice\u003cbr/\u003esome time ago.\u003cbr/\u003eSUPERCAPTION: Mr. CHEN Chien-Jen, director of Overseas Affairs, Nationalist Party\u003cbr/\u003eThe Clinton administration began reviewing its policy towards Taiwan in November, and allowed US cabinet officials to go there.\u003cbr/\u003eUS Secretary of Transport Federico Pena was the first top US official to go to Taiwan in 15 years.\u003cbr/\u003eBut fear of retaliation from Beijing remains high.\u003cbr/\u003eI am here on an unofficial visit at the invitation of the USA-ROC Economic council\u003cbr/\u003eSUPERCAPTION: Federico PENA, US Secretary of Transport\u003cbr/\u003eAnalysts believe that the move from Washington has come in recognition of Taiwan's efforts at greater democratisation and economic development. \u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE (Mandarin):\u003cbr/\u003eSuch overwhelming support from Congress cannot be the result alone of our country's influence on the US. If you say lobbying can influence Congress in such a way you are underestimating Congress's loyalty to its country and in some way insulting Congress itself.\u003cbr/\u003eSUPERCAPTION: Mr. HUANG Hwei-Chen, Executive Director, Institute for National Policy Research\u003cbr/\u003eTaiwan is the seat of the Nationalist Party which fled the communist takeover of the Chinese mainland in 1949.\u003cbr/\u003eMainland China has always objected strongly to actions by any nation that could be construed as giving official standing to the nationalist islanders and has threatened many times to retake Taiwan forcefully. \u003cbr/\u003eOn Monday, Beijing's ambassador to Washington lodged an official    protest against the decision to allow Lee's visit.\u003cbr/\u003eDespite this, relations between the rival Chinas has improved a lot in recent years and what was once a state of almost open war, has evolved into a series of ground-breaking, if somewhat frosty, talks.\u003cbr/\u003eSino-US relations are probably strong enough now to ensure the incident does not lead to trouble.\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE (Mandarin):\u003cbr/\u003eIt is not likely any big changes will happen, the relationship between the US and the Chinese communists will not be seriously affected. China's protest is symbolic, but relations between the two countries will not be irreparably damaged. \u003cbr/\u003eSUPERCAPTION: Mr. HUANG Hwei-Chen, Executive Director, Institute for National Policy Research\u003cbr/\u003ePresident Lee's visit should however trigger a more positive response from some of Taiwan's other neighbours. \u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE (Mandarin):\u003cbr/\u003eJapan has been more and more concerned about Taiwan in recent years and is willing to improve relations with the ROC (Republic of China) but, because of its geographical proximity to mainland China, is still wary of Beijing's response. After Washington allows president Lee Teng Hui to visit the US, it's likely that Japan will follow soon. '\u003cbr/\u003eSUPERCAPTION: Mr. HUANG Hwei-Chen, Executive Director, Institute for National Policy Research\u003cbr/\u003eMaybe with more visits like this, Taiwan might be able to find its place in the international community, but official recognition of a sovereign state is still a long way off.\u003cbr/\u003e    1 Lee getting out of a car\u003cbr/\u003e    2 People standing in front of an airplane\u003cbr/\u003e    3 Lee and the trunk opened\u003cbr/\u003e    4 Lee and wife shaking hands with officials\u003cbr/\u003e    5 Lee and wife waving before departure\u003cbr/\u003e    6 Soundbite 1 Mr. CHEN\u003cbr/\u003e    7 US official, Federico Pena Soundbite 2\u003cbr/\u003e    8 Lee with Senator J.
