On February 21, at the ruling Democratic Progressive Party's (DPP) first meeting of its Central Standing Committee of the new lunar year, DPP party chairman (and ROC president) Chen Shui-bian, with an eye toward the 2004 presidential race, announced a media reform manifesto.
二月十一日執政黨舉行新春後第一次中常會，民進黨主席陳水扁做出媒體改革宣示，頗有向二○○四年總統大選誓師的意味。
