Chen Yi, a man, who had a history of doing Chiang’s dirty work, would be removed to satisfy public relations but he would then be rewarded with the position of Provincial Chairman in Zhejiang Province.
Chen Yi is a perfect example of the type of person Chiang Kai-shek accepted as his administrators.
When the KMT and whole government would later be transferred to Taiwan in December 1949, the temporary provisions would be used to manipulatively ensure that all of those elected in 1947 would be elected for life because no further elections could be held on the mainland.

Chen was born to a tenant farming family in Kuantien Township of Tainan County on the second day of the ninth lunar month in 1950 but was not formally issued a birth certificate until February 18, 1951 because of doubts that he would survive.
Chen was elected as the mayor of Taipei in 1994, largely as the result of a vote split between the highly unpopular KMT incumbent Huang Ta-chou (黃大洲) and the KMT-spin-off New Party (NP) candidate Chao Shaokong (趙少康).
Chen claimed that the shooting could not have been staged because it would be too dangerous to have himself shot in a moving jeep and also challenged Lien and Vice Presidential Candidate James Soong to try their luck with a shooter in a stationary jeep.

  Chen Yi (Kuomintang) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chen was born in Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and in 1902 went to a military academy in Japan for seven years.
In 1935, Chen was sent to Taiwan by Chiang Kai-shek to attend "Exposition to Commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the Beginning of Administration in Taiwan," an exposition which has remained unique and unrivaled to this day, and which served as a report on the achievements of Taiwan's modernization process under Japanese rule.
Chen was later removed from the position of Taiwan governor general for his mishandling of the administration of Taiwan which resulted in the 228 Incident.

 Remembering 2-28
The Chinese mainland troops, under the command of the Japanese-educated Formosan Governor, General Chen Yi, killed an estimated 5,000 to 10,000 of the natives who revolted against the political corruption and economic oppression of Chen's postwar regime (Newsweek, March 17).
Chen responded on March 24 by executing another 70 Formosans who reportedly established a "people's government" in the southwestern town of Chiayi.
However, the event was marred by a controversy over the inscription for the monument: families of the victims found the inscription prepared by the Executive Yuan unacceptable because it tried to whitewash the incident and attempted to rationalize the policies of the KMT on the bloody 1947 crackdown.

In 1932, Chen suppressed a rebellion of the 19th Route Army in Fukien and thereafter was governor of that province.
Chen's attitude towards Taiwan reflected the opinion of many Chinese at the close of the Second World War: the island was a provincial backwater teeming with collaborationists, and contaminated by the half-century of Japanese colonialism (Hughes, 1997: 24).
Instead, Chen Yi resolved to treat Taiwan as a separate entity from the rest of China, a decision that merely further antagonised the Taiwanese, many of whom were denied posts in the administration in favour not just of mainlanders, but of the defeated Japanese (Hughes, 1997:25).

 Asia Society: Publications - Growing Pains: ASEAN's Economic and Political Challenges
The DPP’s Chen Shui-bian emerged on the political scene in the 1980s with something of a radical image as he first served as a lawyer for leading dissidents and was later jailed briefly for leading pro-democracy demonstrations.
Chen Shui-bian and the DPP had been moving over the previous year or so to downplay their image as pro—Taiwan Independence (e.g., by explicitly accepting "Republic of China" as Taiwan’s official name, which the DPP had never previously acknowledged).
The attempt of Chen and the DPP to overcome their lingering radical image on national identity and cross-Strait relations during the early part of the campaign was presumably a means to increase his appeal to Taiwan’s generally conservative middle class.

The KMT suspended freedom of assembly and association, and prohibited the formation of alternative political parties, (except for two insignificant and sycophantic, puppet parties which followed the KMT to Taiwan and which depended on it for the morsels and crumbs to sustain their own existence).
The KMT subsequently intensified the repression, slaughtering the family of Lin Yi-shiung, one of the leaders of the Kaohsiung democratic movement.
In April, the KMT was jettisoned from the leadership of the Chinese Federation of Labour (CFL), with the new leadership including prominent militants from the 1988 railway workers' struggles, such as Lin Huei-kwung as President, and long-term Labour Party and Labour Rights Association member Wang Juan-ping, as Assistant General Secretary.

Chen Yi-shen said that it is an "oxymoron" that Chiang Kai-shek ordered Chen Yi to refrain from "strictly enforcing the law" and warned that military and government personnel should avoid taking vengeance on the people or face "severe punishment."
Chen Yi-shen said that Chiang Kai-shek sent a telegram to Chen Yi on March 13, 1947, asking him to prevent military and government personnel from taking retaliatory measures against the people, but he said that indicated that retaliatory action and slaughter had already taken place.
