Byline: ANALYSIS Nailene Chou Wiest in Taipei

Although Beijing has yet to react to Chen Shui-bian's re-election, analysts believe a new storm is brewing in cross-strait relations.

The legitimacy of his second term will be determined by an investigation into last Friday's assassination attempt, as it will put the island's judicial system to the test. Unless the Chen government handles the crisis in a fair and open manner, Taiwan's image as a fledgling democracy could be damaged.

The US and Japan's caution in their remarks about Mr Chen's re-election indicates international sentiment is still uncertain, and any serious attempt to ease tensions across the Taiwan Strait is far away.
