Bringing Taiwan to the World and the World to Taiwan

Honor guards are to stop performing changing of the guard ceremonies around a statue of Chiang Kai-shek (蔣介石) to avoid “worshiping authoritarianism,” the Ministry of Culture said yesterday.

Great news!! Never too late to stop idolizing brutal authoritarians.

      Agreed! This is a region wide (and capitalism) problem, but I think Taiwan’s degree of progressive attitudes in select areas position it as the most likely to shift its policies compared to Japan, Korea, and China.

      Unless of course Korea’s strikes start to spread (unlikely considering the extreme scab mindset inherent in Korean culture).
