Just take a look at recent incident in 政治大學 and action of the military police that threaten civilian and go into their home to confiscate document. Too many apparatus of police state are still in operation in Taiwan. I hope the new DPP government will dismantle them.

Both should apologize and compensate, but I'm not sure to what extent the KMT has done either.Lindennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-51617126764840927372016-03-06T06:45:10.614+08:002016-03-06T06:45:10.614+08:00Well Mr. Turton, in terms of comfort women transgr...Well Mr. Turton, in terms of comfort women transgressions, who do you think did it worse, the KMT or the Japanese? Would they both need to apologize and pay compensation to the Taiwanese about that practice? Or only side needs to (either KMT or Japan)? Or none does because that practice was justifiable in the past context? It's one thing to snipe about KMT hypocrisy or how politically motivated they are, but what is your real stance on this issue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-1698479943773425502016-03-06T01:53:08.297+08:002016-03-06T01:53:08.297+08:00To be fair, the importance of an apology/reparatio...To be fair, the importance of an apology/reparations to KMT-sold comfort women doesn't mean that Japanese-sold comfort women don't also deserve an apology. I wouldn't put it past the Ma administration to purposely keep the Japan-Taiwan relationship a bit irritated, but that can be true **as well as** Taiwanese comfort women of the Japanese army deserving justice. That's what makes it a complicated issue. The answer isn't just to say "screw the comfort women - they shouldn't get an apology or reparations", either.
