HUI???

<< < (2/3) > >>

cranberry44:
How about "Lee Teng-___"? (Lee Teng-hui). He was the president of the Republic of China. 1988-2000; and the only Taiwanese-born president of China. There's a rather lengthy article about him in Wikipedia. If the rest of your puzzle is "clear," you might be able to use "hui" as an entry?

mmcbs:
That's a pretty good one, though he was the first Taiwan born president of Taiwan, not the only. All the previous ones were born in mainland China before the Republic of China was established in Taiwan - essentially a government in exile.

cranberry44:
I stand corrected. But I think you meant to say "first Taiwanese-born president of the Republic of China (not Taiwan)."

mmcbs:
Taiwan is formally the Republic of China, but it is not officially recognized as such by most countries, who call it Taiwan. This includes the US.

cranberry44:
Thanx for clearing that up!
