 | | 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. |
