SignOnSanDiego.com > News > World -- Chen is pushing Taiwan to war, says former ally Hsu Hsin-liang, a former chairman of the president's independence-leaning Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), said Chen's goal of adopting a new constitution by 2008 was certain to bring disaster to the island because it would push China to invade. Hsu was captured when he tried to sneak back on a fishing boat in 1989 and spent eight months in prison before a 1990 amnesty. Hsu left the DPP in 1999 after alienating colleagues with his proposals to tone down the party's pro-independence platform and by advocating reconciliation with communist China. www.signonsandiego.com /news/world/20040803-0439-taiwan-china-independence.html   (625 words)

ShenZhou Forums -> Taiwan Campaign Features Deng It is not surprising that Hsu Hsin-liang does not advocate independence even though he was a founding member of the DPP, back when it actually fought against the corrupt KMT dictatorship at the time. I think Hsu Hsin-liang is aware that China is changing and the only way to avoid a mass rapage of Taiwan is to encourage progress in China while at the same time keeping Taiwan within the existing arrangements.

Commercial Migrants and their Political Culture Hsu, in disguise, arrived on a plane from the Philippines, but was quickly recognized and stopped from disembarking and refused entry. Hsu cultivated a coterie of businessmen and community leaders, especially in the San Francisco and Los Angeles areas (“the California gang”), who bankrolled and participated in his projects. Hsu Pei-lung, a suave, silver-haired owner of restaurants and real estate, flew in from Los Angeles with the huge banner he had had made to order, “Free Political Prisoners in Taiwan.” Lynn Miles and his Japanese wife kept the vigil for the duration. www.kuixing.panopticonasia.com /Arrigo3.html   (3439 words)

Variations in Acculturation Hsu Hsin-liang, a militant founder of the democratic movement in Taiwan, elected Commissioner of Taoyuan County in November 1977 and removed mid-term by the KMT in July 1979, was abroad at the time of the crackdown. Coordinating with Hsu Hsin-liang’s networking with his supporters in Taiwan, Cary and Patrick set up a safe house in Queens stocked with books from movements around the world, where students and visitors from Taiwan could spend a week or two in quiet and in discussions with comrades. This kind of activity was no doubt difficult for the sedate and law-abiding Taiwanese Americans to stomach; but they had long been deeply involved in fervent hopes for democracy and self-determination for their homeland. www.kuixing.panopticonasia.com /Arrigo2.html   (3037 words)

ROC presidential election, 2000 - Psychology Central Former Democratic Progressive Party Chairman Hsu Hsin-liang, who had been expelled from the party he had co-founded, ran as an independent with New Party legislator Josephine Chu as his running mate. As DPP Chairman, Hsu had moderated the platform of the party, promoting reconciliation with the People's Republic of China and the opening of direct links, a move, ironically, not supported by President Lee. The protestors blocked the entrances to the building and kept Lee holed in his office for hours until riot police with water cannon were able to open a path for the motorcade. psychcentral.com /psypsych/ROC_presidential_election,_2000   (1068 words)

Thu, Nov 6, 1997 edition Pro-independence hard-liner Ming-min of the opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) yesterday accused party chairman Hsu Hsin-liang of colluding with communist China--including seeking financial support from Beijing when Hsu lived in exile in the United States in the 1980s. Hsu lived in exile in the United States for around a decade beginning in 1979, after he was charged with sedition for engaging in the then-illegal opposition movement in Taiwan. Hsu denied he ever made the requests cited by Peng, though he admitted that he had met Tang in Los Angeles. www.chinainformed.com /Archive/x9711/971106.html   (1925 words)

TS-Wu And yet Hsu Hsin-liang's election as the new DPP chairman in June 1996 returned the party to a pragmatic route. An even more important reason for Hsu to champion a moderate China policy was his perception of Taiwan as a "crisis society," in which the opposition party had to demonstrate its ability to safeguard the nation's security in order to convince the crisis-minded people to render support. The very fact that Hsu was able to insert his preference into the party's official China policy demonstrates the influence of the business community on the DPP's attitude towards the Chinese mainland. www.taiwansecurity.org /TS-Wu.htm   (6910 words)

Jerome F. Keating's writings Hsu Hsin-liang had broken ranks with KMT tradition and run as an independent candidate for the Taoyuan County Magistrate. The prominent Kuo Yu Hsin was one who continuously spoke out as a member of the Taiwan Provincial Assembly 1945-75; the same went for others on down to the man in the street. The fact that somewhere between twenty to thirty thousand political prisoners were sent to the Green Island prisons illustrates a growing opposition but more perhaps the paranoia of the KMT in reacting to any hint or desire for democracy. zen.sandiego.edu:8080 /Jerome/1128061039/index_html   (3022 words)

MAINLAND POLICY A VITAL ISSUE IN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION (I) Meanwhile, another independent candidate Hsu Hsin-liang, who was formerly DPP chairman, said that the cross-strait relations issue should be put into an international context as it is not an isolated problem.

Hsu also advocated that the two sides work out an interim agreement which guarantees the present status quo for 50 years. www.fas.org /news/taiwan/2000/e-03-16-00-21.htm   (838 words)

Hsu Chong-hsiung said that if Hsu Hsin-liang can determine why the approval rate of KMT Chairman Lien Chan (³s¾Ô) and PFP Chairman James Soong (§º·¡·ì) dropped from 61 percent at the beginning of their campaign to 35 percent in the latter days of the campaign period, he would welcome him to criticize the KMT.

TAIWAN (Republic of China) Hsu Hsin-liang, a former Taoyuan County magistrate who was granted political asylum and had been living in the United States since 1979, was arrested when he attempted to enter Taiwan in September 1989. The State Department protested the indictment because it was based in part on Hsu's activities in the United States that were protected by the U.S. Constitution. Apart from the Hsu case, with its special U.S. dimension, the Bush administration refrained from critical commentary on human rights developments in Taiwan. www.hrw.org /reports/1989/WR89/Taiwan.htm   (857 words)

BBC NEWS In Depth Taiwan Election Hsu Hsin-liang: Veteran dissident Hsu Hsin-liang began his political career as a rising star within the ranks of the ruling Kuomintang. Hsu's campaign was however somewhat subdued, held back by a lack of money and political support that has rarely registered more than 1% of the electorate. On the key issue of relations with the mainland, Hsu backed away from the DPP line that Taiwan should move to full independence from China, arguing instead that the current status quo should be maintained for as long as possible. news.bbc.co.uk /1/hi/in_depth/asia_pacific/2000/taiwan_election/661492.stm   (341 words)

Corruption and China policy dominate Taiwan presidential campaign Hsu Hsin-liang, a former DPP chairman now campaigning in opposition to its policy of Taiwanese sovereignty, submitted over 340,000 names. As the split over policy toward mainland China has developed inside the KMT, the DPP has also fractured, with Hsu Hsin-liang breaking off to run an independent campaign on policies similar to James Soong. The majority of the party, led by presidential candidate Chen Shui-bian, has more and more openly identified itself with president Lee, hailing his “state-to-state” speech and calling for the phrase to be inserted into the country's constitution. www.wsws.org /articles/2000/jan2000/taiw-j14_prn.shtml   (1811 words)

A newly inaugurated political grouping that is supposed to boost the opposition Pan-Blue camp in challenging President Chen Shui-bian may end up undermining it in year-end legislative elections.

Cover Story A President in Focus On 22 September 1978, at an interschool sports day in Taoyuan, Kao Chih-wei, who had become President Chiang Ching-kuo's official personal photographer just four months earlier, pressed the shutter to record President Chiang taking a turn around the stadium in the company of Taoyuan County chief executive Hsu Hsin-liang. This historic shot shows a scene befitting of an official photograph: local officials accompanying the head of state around the stadium, and the president himself waving to the students on the grandstand. The first picture of President Chiang the younger, which Kao took at his inauguration ceremony at the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, marked the start of a decade recording Chiang's life in office. home.sina.com /sinorama/0298/english/3_1.html   (225 words)

The Growth of Democracy (1977 to 1986) The competition was especially intense in Taoyuan County, where KMT candidate Ou Hsien-yu was running against former KMT member Hsu Hsin-liang, who had been expelled from the party (and who was the chairman of the largest opposition party in Taiwan, the Democratic Progressive Party). On November 19, 1977, the elections for county magistrates and city mayors were being held in the Taiwan area. While the ballots were being counted on November 19, rumors of election irregularities emerged; in response, the residents of Chungli surrounded the polling stations and set fire to the Chungli City Police Station, thereby sparking the "Chungli Incident." www.roc-taiwan.de /info/epolbook/pgrowth4.htm   (1362 words)
