The BBC's Ben Brown was ordered on short notice to go from London to anchor TV reports from Taipei. He began working virtually the minute he got off the plane. He filed reports on campaign activities, the situation in Kinmen, and the strength of pro-independence forces, as well as a profile of President Lee. His stories reflect the things the international media were generally interested in.
