| | Chen Kuo-fu advised Chiang to ensure that Chen Yi appointed more KMT cadres and members of factions associated with Chiang. | | | Chen Yi advised Chiang to appoint Chiang Ching-kuo as his successor as Provincial Governor. | | | Instead, Chen Yi resolved to treat Taiwan as a separate entity from the rest of China, a decision that merely further antagonised the Taiwanese, many of whom were denied posts in the administration in favour not just of mainlanders, but of the defeated Japanese (Hughes, 1997:25). |

| | President Chen Shui-bian (êË®±â) yesterday berated the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) for distorting the truth of the 228 Incident, saying that the incident was a systematic massacre carried out to further the political interests of "one individual and one party" -- Chiang Kai-shek (ÊY½éʯ) and the KMT. | | | CKS's role in the 228 incident is not questioned by any reasonable source--as Chen Yi's superior at the time, he had to have been at least aware of the thousands of killings going on in the name of his government, even if was not actively directing them. | | | The 228 incident is not so long ago that it has faded from living memory--people are still living who remember the specific targeting of teachers, doctors, and other community leaders in the KMT's effort to decapitate native Taiwanese leadership. |

| | Hence the KMT was pleased that one of its Vice Chairman, Wu Po-hsiung, enjoyed high-level access to PRC leaders during his private visit to China in November. | | | In fact, Chen has not repeated his endorsement of an interpretation of the "1992 consensus" (one-China, respective interpretations) that he had expressed in the summer, preferring instead recently to urge that dialogue should resume on the basis of the "1992 spirit," which Beijing rejects. | | | The PRC seems firmly settled into a posture of demanding Chen's acceptance of Beijing's conditions for dialogue, working the Taiwan opposition parties' to isolate Chen domestically, and seeking to exploit differences between pragmatists and fundamentalists within the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). |
