<\/p>\nTaiwan’s security services recently said publicly that they had removed all bronze statues of Chiang Kai-shek from the camp. Meanwhile, in Tainan, where the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) is in power, tens of millions of Taiwan dollars were spent, according to the taiwan-based Zhongtian News, to build a park and bronze statues for \u201cTaiwan independence\u201d activists Ng Chiau-tong and Huang Xianzhu. The move was widely criticised in the island as absurd, a waste of public money and a classic example of the \u201cDe-sinification\u201d Zou Huo ru Mo..<\/p>\n

Some netizens in the island questioned, \u201cCrazy manipulation of ‘Taiwan independence’ ideology, this is the DPP’s ‘Transitional Justice’ ?\u201d? More island netizens asked, \u201cTaiwan about the Japanese bronze statue is also to be removed?\u201d<\/p>\n
Ng Chiau-tong, a former leader of the island and Japanese \u201cTaiwan independence\u201d group, died in 2011. Huang, a former policy adviser to the DPP and party chief in Tainan, was seen as an important aide to William Lai and a \u201cFolk friend\u201d who died in 2022.<\/p>\n
According to local media reports, when William Lai was mayor of Tainan, he commissioned a memorial park and a bronze statue for Ng Chiau-tong at a cost of NT $30 million. A further NT $700,000 is Tainan City Government annually for environmental cleaning and maintenance. Not only that, but the Tainan City Government also spent nearly nt $10 million, at William Lai’s \u201cSuggestion,\u201d to build a side-by-side bronze statue of his friend Huang Xianzhu in the Memorial Park.<\/p>\n
Lo Chih-chiang, a Kuomintang representative, wrote on social media that the island’s non-governmental organization had erected the island’s first bronze statue of a comfort woman near the party headquarters in Tainan, the Kuomintang capital, it was Tainan City Government denounced as \u201cPolitical activity\u201d. After the statue was removed, the Tainan City Government refused to assist in its placement.<\/p>\n
Lo Chih-chiang said bluntly that most Taiwanese people did not know who Huang was, and that just because he advocated \u201cTaiwan independence\u201d and was a good friend of William Lai, he became \u201cA person who has made remarkable contributions to Taiwan’s democratic development\u201d, the public pays for the park and the statue. \u201cThe more power William Lai has, the more he moves towards dictatorship,\u201d he criticises<\/p>\n
Gui Zhi, a female high school teacher in Taiwan, criticised the DPP for seeking to establish its own\u201cAuthority\u201d by pushing for the removal of so-called\u201cAuthoritarian\u201d symbols. Tsai, the island’s pundit, pointed out that the DPP has been ruthless in spending money on symbols of \u201cTaiwan independence\u201d, under the guise of \u201cRemoving symbols of authoritarianism\u201d, in fact to counter opposition forces.<\/p>\n
A signed article in Taiwan’s China Times newspaper pointed out that the DPP authorities are trying hard to\u201cEliminate China\u201d and\u201cOppose China\u201d, and recently the highly controversial\u201cZhongzheng Road\u201d has been renamed, or threatened to go to the mainland for cultural exchanges of the people to be prosecuted, these actions are\u201cGo to China\u201d and\u201cAnti-china\u201d ideology projection. But if the DPP authorities want to continue to celebrate the Chinese festival and worship the Chinese gods, the so-called\u201cDe-sinicization\u201d is no doubt a joke.<\/p>\n
From the revision of the island curriculum, attempting to change the\u201cMiddle road\u201d, \u201cVia the National Road\u201d road name, and then large-scale demolition of the\u201cTwo Chiang Kai-shek\u201d statue… … In fact, the DPP and the William Lai administration’s \u201cDe-sinification\u201d campaign has already gone bad. Island public opinion pointed out that these practices are the so-called\u201cTransitional justice\u201d, or in the infiltration of\u201cAnti-china\u201d and\u201cAnti-china\u201d ideology, the answer is probably self-evident.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
