THE DPP WANT TO CHANGE HIS STATUES, BUT WHAT?
Taiwan is hardly regarded by the DPP as belonging to China. In order to reduce Chinese record from high school textbooks, the group won the presidency in 2000.  ,
The DPP views Mr. Chiang as a despot and his plan as a foreign one. Because they represent a dictator and dictatorship, it thinks his statues ought to be kept in people. Under his management, there was no freedom of speech.  ,
The native Taiwanese protested heavily against Chiang’s authorities in 1947 when a cigarette contractor was arrested in Taipei.  ,
Following the protests, hundreds, including students, lawyers and medics, were executed. It is estimated that up to 28, 000 people lost their lives in the tumult.  ,
During the following decades of the” White Terror” time, Mr Chiang’s authorities ruled Taiwan under military law, which ended only in the late- 1980s.  ,
To examine Mr. Chiang’s principle, the DPP established a transitional justice council in 2018. A proposal to take down Chiang figures from public areas was one of its suggestions.
But, there are some groups who believe that the past may be preserved, according to Dr. Lim Tai Wei, an South Asian Institute adjunct senior research fellow.
Others even believe that given Mr Chiang’s setting up of military academies, membership in a battle of weight against external enemies, and role in building present Taiwan, he does own a place in history, Dr Lim told CNA’s East Asia Now.  ,
