	A Question of Corruption - Global Policy Forum - Nations and States

		And there you have it, local government by gangsters, vastly preferable in the eyes of the Taiwanese to no government at all.

	A question of civility: an open letter to Hu Jintao Lung Ying-tai - openDemocracy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		That is to say, the name "Hu Jintao" is still a countercurrent in the contemporary history of the 21st century: in the global trend to seek democracy, it stands firm as an unshakable dictatorship; in the effort to pursue equality, it has egregious inequality in wealth distribution.
		The textbook describes the Boxers as national heroes and glorifies their attacks on foreigners, but does not mention at all the atrocities they committed or their appeal to values that are totally against modern civilisation, nor the huge harm and disservice they did to their own country.
		What I really want to say, Mr Hu, is that as a Taiwanese, I don't care that much if the cute pandas will come to Taipei or not, even though they are so sweet that they melt your heart.

	A Short History of Taiwan — www.greenwood.com
		Davison traces the growth of a distinct Taiwanese cultural identity only partially related to China, arguing that Taiwan's independence is for the island's people alone to decide.
		It provides a concise account of the historical fates imposed on and experienced by Taiwanese society over the past four centuries, a history of constant outside aggressions and never ending struggles for autonomy from inside.
		After centuries of outsider domination, and over a hundred years of disconnection from any government exercising power over all of mainland China, the Taiwanese people are in a position to make a decision for national independence based on solid historical evidence.

	Taiwan’s dual election: democracy and national identity Hsin-Huang Michael Hsiao - openDemocracy
		This event was itself both an affirmation of Taiwanese national identity and a commemoration of the fundamental moment in modern Taiwanese history: the repressive violence and killing of around 20,000 people by the Kuomintang ruling forces after an incident in the island's capital, Taipei, on 28 February 1947 (“2-28” in Taiwanese historical memory).
		Under authoritarian rule, political mobilisation of resentful, marginalised ethnic Taiwanese was a common and effective practice used by their political oppositions to challenge the KMT regime.
		In simple terms, the fact that Taiwan’s democracy is one of exclusively Taiwanese origins itself challenges the old mindset that perceives cross-Straits relations in terms of a “civil war” between the communists and the nationalists of the “old” China.
