[ Global Network Report] According to TVBS News Network and other Taiwanese media reports on the 11th, after the disbandment of Taiwan's "Justice of Promoting Transformation" (hereinafter referred to as "Promoting Transfers") was dissolved in May this year, the internal affairs department undertakes the so-called "clearing the symbol of authoritarianism" business. Now it spends a lot of money to spend every bronze statue of two Chiang Kai-shek, up to 100,000 yuan (New Taiwan dollars, the same below) subsidy is provided, encouraging schools, county and municipal governments to "go to Chiang Kai-shek". In response to this, some netizens on the island criticized that the DPP would only engage in these meaningless ideologies. Anyway, money is everyone's tax money.
"transfer promotion" was dissolved at the end of May this year and will be undertaken by six major "ministerial associations". Taiwan's "Central News Agency" reported that in order to encourage county and municipal governments and schools to deal with "authoritarian symbols" in public buildings through removal or name change, the general subsidy will be granted up to NT$100,000 per piece, and the policy subsidy will be determined by the internal affairs department.
TVBS News Network said that the goal of Taiwan’s internal affairs department is to eliminate more than 900 bronze statues of Chiang Kai-shek that have not been demolished yet. Xu Guoyong made a decision during his tenure and compiled a budget of 11 million yuan. Although the above measures have come into effect, no application has been received yet.
Zheng Yinghong, deputy director of the Civil Affairs Department of the Taiwan Internal Affairs Department, declared, "If relevant agencies and groups come to handle it, there will be direct funding, which may be a more effective acceleration method."
Regarding this matter, a netizen on the island left a message in the comment section of the Taiwan media, saying, "The DPP will only engage in these meaningless ideologies. Anyway, money is everyone's tax money!"
"Why is it so boring?" Some people questioned the DPP authorities, "Specially engaged in elections... Is ideology, why don't you seriously fight for people's livelihood?"
Some netizens even sarcastically said, "If you don't do these things, you'll have nothing to do." "You can't do serious things, just do meaningless things!"
Regarding the DPP authorities' move, on the island's online forum PTT, some netizens also believed that it was a waste of public funds, and some people accused, "If you don't do people's livelihood and economy, you will only engage in this ideology."
In recent years, as the DPP authorities have continuously advocated the so-called "transformation justice", the bronze statue of Chiang Kai-shek on the island has been repeatedly damaged. KMT issued a severe condemnation on this. KMT "legislator" Hong Mengkai once said that the DPP authorities manipulated "de-Chianghua" and blindly distorted and ignored the facts with the so-called "transformation justice" and were fundamentally "false justice and real liquidation." From the "independence faction" throwing paint on Chiang's mausoleum to directly pouring paint on the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall , which many tourists visited, all kinds of behaviors have only repeatedly divided Taiwan, allowing the people to see hatred and tear the ethnic group. "No one can accept it!"
