The February 1990 power struggle was a political crisis within the ruling Kuomintang party in Taiwan.^[1] After the death of President Chiang Ching-kuo on 13 January 1988, the presidency passed to Vice President Lee Teng-hui from the “mainstream” faction of the party. Lee consolidated his leadership of the Kuomintang despite the scheming of the “non-mainstream” or “palace” faction against him in February 1990. The struggle resulted in the Chiang family’s loss of political control. The non-mainstream faction soon split from the party to form the New Kuomintang Alliance and ultimately the New Party.
