The two good things the Taiwanese DPP has done:

  • Legislating same-sex marriage
  • Removing Chiang statues and portraits from public buildings and putting the statues in a little park of shame (like de-Leninisation but good)

    Removing Chiang statues

    I doubt the dpp is particularly concerned with Chiang's conduct during the war, they just want to remove taiwan's connections with the mainland and that includes statues of chiang

    yeah it's a heartbreaking kind of thing. they changed the passports to say "Taiwan" rather than "ROC" for the same reason

    the DPP do recognise the White Terror as having happened though, while it's more a sensitive issue with the (perpetrators) GMD. while at the same time the DPP are quiet about Japanese warcrimes during the occupation era for realpolitik reasons. it's what redditors call an "ESH" situation
