388140 01: Former Taiwanese President Lee Teng-hui arrives April 22, 2001 at the airport in Osaka, Japan. Lee has an appointment at a cardiology center in Kurashiki, Okayama Prefecture in western Japan, on April 24 to follow up on the angioplasty he had in Taipei last November. The visit has sparked the ire of the Chinese government, which has warned Tokyo not to allow Lee to visit for any reason, claiming he uses overseas trips to campaign for Taiwanese independence.
