Is China less likely to enter an armed conflict with Hu at the helm?
Does it matter who is the leader in China, as long as President Chen maintains his aggressive posture towards the mainland?

As long as china continues its nationalistic approach towards Taiwan to protect its economic growth, there will be no difference.
