	Lee Teng-hui - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Taiwanese localization movement has its roots in the home rule groups founded during the Japanese era and sought to put emphasis on Taiwan as the center of people's lives as opposed Mainland China or Japan.
		Under this ideology, Taiwan was seen as a place for mainlanders to resent as they waited for the re-conquest of the Maoist mainland.
		Despite of Taiwan's history of Japanese military occupation from 1895 to 1945, Lee, whose father was a low-level Japanese police aide, never tried to hide his pro-Japan sentiment.

	Chi-she Li MMLA 2001
		To better understand the relationship between nationalistic discourses in Taiwan and contemporary globalization, it is imperative to turn to the geopolitics of East Asia in the last quarter of the twentieth century and concentrate on the upsurge of Taiwanese consciousness in the middle of the transition from the Cold-War period to a globalized era.
		Thus, the assertion of Taiwan as the local thereby surfaces to defend the Taiwanese from being trapped by an ideological and cultural void created by the arrival of global integration8 and seeks to claim its own participation in the global scene.
		In spite of her cultural conservatism, the apocalyptic ending of the novella registers a denial of the local reconstructed in response to globalization as seen in Taipei and an aesthetic rendition of the violence of globalization, which erases history and simultaneously produces prolifically mere images of the local and history.
