Taiwan’s White Terror Thesis Taiwan, despite its thriving democracy today, was once an isolated nation filled with fear, after China took over when World War II ended. Conflict arose quickly after the Chinese Nationalists arrived, when citizens questioned their actions of violence and started standing up for their people. With their unwillingness to compromise, it led to executions and imprisonment of those who seemed suspicious to the government under the martial law that lasted for 38 years. The

Modern Taiwan begins with Japanese colonial rule and has gone through three periods: the Japanese occupation (1895-1945), the Kuomintang authoritarian regime (1946-mid 1980s), and the Democratic period (late 1980s-present). This article explores modern Taiwan’s economic development in each of the three periods, analyses the main contributing factors, and finally comes to the conclusion that with the beginning of Taiwan’s Democratic period, Taiwan’s business firms found great profits in the mainland

The salty sea air rolling over the lapping waves pushes the vessel through the different ports and storms of its history and further into the uncharted water of the future. This icon of a seafaring ship metaphorically represents the Island of Taiwan and the creation and survival of its unique culture as it has sailed through the different storms of colonization, oppression and war of its history. Just as a storm leaves scares on a ship, Taiwan's turbulent history has left marks on the Taiwanese
Taiwan For centuries, Taiwan has been ruled by alien regimes. Modern Taiwanese history is a chronicle of the Taiwanese' struggles against oppression and fight for independent survival. Since 1945, Taiwan under the Kuomintang (KMT) regime has been subject to the threat of China's invasion. Even though recently the tensions across the Straits of Taiwan has loosened gradually, to Taiwanese, the unification policy stressed by both the KMT regime and the Chinese government still poses a grave danger

Pressure On China High-level visits to China from important political people such as the President, MPs and the Prime Minister, put extreme pressure on China and the government.

There were two reasons: the first is that during the Kang Xi period, the Hakkas of Chouzhou Fu and Huezhou Fu were banned from sailing across the sea to Taiwan because of the prohibition; the other is supposed to be that most Hakkas living in the mountains were not familiar with watercourses, so they preferred
To be a spectator of any sporting event one must understand the rules that the players and officials use to govern the game. Without this knowledge it can become an immense challenge to understand if things are going well or poorly for your team or player. An excellent example would be if watching a golf tournament and you have no idea that the low score wins. The worst player in the tournament might end up looking like the winner, and that could not be any further from the truth. Understanding

The Balancing Act of Peace Balance is the ideal point of discussion in almost all debates. Balance depicts peace and harmony, but until it is achieved, chaos ensues. This chaos can rage for decades before being solved. In the Star Wars movies, the force and oneself are the things a Jedi must master. In Lord of the Flies, written by William Goldberg, Simon keeps the balance of the island until his untimely death. The real world is farther from being so clear cut of where balance can be achieved.
