	A Brief History of Taiwan
		This incident, which could have become another February 28 Incident, nevertheless led to the peaceful and progressive birth of the first democracy in the Chinese world as changes at home and abroad forced the dangwai and government to compromise.
		For the government, these incidents led to the largest crisis to face the KMT since the February 28 Incident, where the slightest slipup might spell doom for the government.
		Clearly, with the Kaohsiung Incident, the KMT failed to achieve the same level of intimidation as it had with the 228 Incident, and the foundation of its authoritarian rule was facing wide-ranging collapse.

	James Soong
		Soong was given the job of addressing the nation following the Carter administration's decision to switch diplomatic ties to the PRC on December 16, 1978 in which he gave a patriotic condemnation of the American position.
		As director-general of the Government Information Office, he was accused by his critics of aggressive censorship, including excessive use of libel laws and prison sentences to silence critics, and involvement in the supression of the Kaohsiung Incident.
		Some believe that the PFP's lack of experienced candidates in the December 2002 mayoral elections in Taipei and Kaohsiung (the PFP supported the KMT's candidates), and the PFP's poor performance the city council elections in those cities at the same time were major setbacks to Soong's chances of being the KMT-PFP candidate for president.

	bourdieu_boy: State and Society in the Taiwan Miracle
		The Chungli Incident is the first of a series of political and cultural moments of opposition in which Gold anticipates the end of the state-society bargain.
		The others he discusses are the nativist literature movement in the late 1970s, the Kaohsiung Incident in December 1979, the subsequent murders of members of Lin Yi-hsiung’s family in February 1980 and Henry Liu in 1984, and the probable murder of Chen Wen-cheng in 1981.
		From 2-28 to the Chungli and Kaohsiung Incidents, violence represents the most extreme form of political contestation, when symbols of state power, such as the police station in Chungli were destroyed, or (much more frequently) activists who had been resisting the state were imprisoned or killed.

	Jerome F. Keating's writings
		While Lin Yi-hsiung was being held in jail by the ruling Chinese Nationalist Party or Kuomintang (KMT) for his involvement in the Kaohsiung Incident (December 10, 1979), his two twin daughters aged seven and his mother were brutally stabbed to death in their Taipei home on February 28, 1980.
		In hindsight, how the Kaohsiung Incident with its brutal crackdown and trials became the turning point of Taiwan's democracy movement is well known but put yourself in the shoes of the participants in the days immediately following December 10.
		Immediately after the confrontation and crackdown in Kaohsiung, Lin was back with his family in his Taipei home while in the apartment above were Arrigo and Shih as well as Chen Chu (then head of the Kaohsiung Office of Meilidao) and Lu (Annette) Hsiu-lien, all of whom had come up from Kaohsiung.

	Taiwan Matters!
		Although the nearby port city of Kaohsiung is a stronghold of the Democratic Progressive Party, Chin Jin votes reliably for the Nationalist Party, local officials said, because its fishermen depend on the state for access to fishing grounds.
		That is in part the result of rampant vote buying, a chronic problem in Kaohsiung, since the DPP has slowly but surely been gaining ground on the KMT at the local level.
		By the time Huang lost the mayoral election in Kaohsiung this past Saturday by 1,114 votes, the KMT propaganda machine was already spinning in high gear and making obnoxious noises, but Huang and Ma weren't the only ones making such noises.

		On 27 February 1947, an incident began which illustrated the isolation of the KMT state from the mass of Taiwanese.
		The 2–28 incident left the Taiwanese population in a position of total powerlessness in relation to the state which had been imposed on them.
		The riot was largely a consequence of the overcrowded accommodation facilities; the failure of the subcontractors to provide separate accommodation for the different nationalities; the lack of competent translators (1 for every 200 residents); the general contractor's and subcontractors' speed-up pressures, bullying styles of management and occupational health and safety transgressions.
