#TAIWAN: ❝ [ LETTER ] [#Chiang_Kai_shek (#蔣介石)] Statue removal shows grit❞
https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/editorials/archives/2023/04/21/2003798331

Chiang was undoubtedly an authoritarian and despotic ruler. Although he made some contribution toward Taiwan’s infrastructure, he is identified as having orchestrated the 228 Incident. Under martial law, Chiang abused his power and inflicted state violence on numerous people.

It is natural that he is viewed negatively. Far from casting a positive figure, statues of Chiang should not be displayed in the public sphere.

Hence, the foremost task for transitional justice should be the removal of Chiang statues from all official agencies, schools and public buildings. Regrettably, many institutions have exhibited ostrich-like behavior — especially those under the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Education — avoiding the task on a variety of pretexts.

Without government enforcement, transitional justice in Taiwan would stagnate.

Slowly but surely. He's only on the rarely-seen NT$200 (as far as bills go) now.
