Why should KMT apologize at all for this? The Taiwanese deserved this, and more. In WW2, the Taiwanese pledged allegiance to Japan and emperor Hirohito. They considered themselves Japanese. They were part of the Axis of Evil. 200,000 Taiwanese served in the Imperial Army, and they were sent to kill, rape, and torture Americans & Chinese. And they invaded China first, they were our dreaded ENEMIES. You are lucky we didn't drop the atomic bomb on Taipei for your sins.
The 228 Massacre was caused by Chinese soldiers was very similar to the so called Nanking Massacre which Chinese government has claimed Japan. Don't you think so?
the so called victims of 228 Massacre, were acutely with armed at the time of the incident. They were Taiwanese communists. Before the government's military force arrived, the communists already killed thousands of people on the whole island of Taiwan,including women and children, who were from the mainland and worked in the new government positions.
The whole thing of 228 were distorted by the green party for their own political gain.
Sorry for the trouble, but does anyone have a transcript or summary for what is said in this video, in English? Or is that all in the summary? I speak Mandarin but I don't understand everything in this video.
To FydaDelacroix: In this video, families of the victims of Taiwan February 28 Massacre (of 1947) gathered to express their support for Miss Yar-Ling CHEN of Sanlih SET TV regarding her efforts on editing and reporting a special commemorative series on the 60th Anniversary of the Taiwan 2-28 Massacre.
If you want to learn more about the Taiwan 2-28 Massacre of 1947 (in which the KMT-Party Regime exiled from China had butchered about 20,000 innocent Taiwan civilians,) please google it.
To CatAdrina: Do you even know how many of your countrymen died during the Culture Revolution under the ruling of CCP? Or during the Tiananmen Square Protests in 1989?
Why don't you work harder on democratizing your own land, if you care?!
1.What I am going to say need to be very careful,in case youtube suddenly closed,or something even worse,guess you cannot imagine,but that is a big limit
2.Youtube is full of mad people,save your time,focus on your own life...Don't take it too serious,they don't really mean it,or at least my "countrymen" did.They were pissed off and fought for face.
To CatAdrina: It seems to me that you are still living with a lot of fears (including retribution), even though you live in Argentina! But we have to know that democracy and freedom are earned through people's efforts, not given!
When youve been fighting the COMMUNISTS and JAPANESE for many years, this is going to be NOTHING to you!! Understand how the KMT felt, the Communists and Japanese were the real murderers, at least the KMT admit what happened and stuff, do the Communists and Japanese even acknowledge the millions of people theyve killed?
To Emnsta: So far the KMT has not openly told the world what the KMT government regime had done to the Taiwan residents during Taiwan 228 Massacre! And, the KMT party has not repaid to the victims of the Massacre, not even a penny! Also, none of the murderers has confessed their crimes or been convicted!
If you tour the Presidential Palace of Taiwan, the guide will make a point of telling you of 228 and there is a full historical display outlining who and what happened. I took the tour in August 2007.
A murder is a murder, no matter how many people killed.
The point is, the 228 Massacre manifests itself as a typical systematic murder intending to eliminate the elites in Taiwan so the Chiang-Kai-Shit government can take charge of Taiwan.
On this point, there's really no difference between the KMT and Nazi or Stalin.
@Emnsta The KMT was forced to admit. They were abandoned by America, by the Chinese people. They escaped to Taiwan and have nowhere else to run to. That's the reason why I had to apologize. Do you not know what happened between 1947-1990s? The demonstrations and rallies never stopped. Taiwanese people were only able to vote in 1996. From 1947-1996 Taiwan was no different than China. We did not have the right to vote! KMT can stop pretending democracy is a gift from them. It's not.
@Emnsta Taiwan democracy was paid by the blood of Taiwanese people. Taiwanese should never forget this. Watch the movie "Formosa Betrayed" and you will know real Taiwan history. KMT was so corrupt it got kicked out of China. How can it be a good government? Did they really change for the better? No. Today they are betraying Taiwanese and old KMT soldiers by siding with the communists. KMT is corrupt beyond description. Even lies from them.
To Allen: I would like to encourage you or your father to publish your own true stories and let more people know what had happened then in Taiwan 228 Massacre. DO NOT just criticize others' opinions!
If you have some basic historical knowledge of the incident you will know that only a few communists (the fellows of 謝雪紅) contribute to the large number killed
To Civsuck: Be kind! Or perhaps, deep down in your mind, you wish that your family members had been butchered by KMT cohorts and you could claim some compensation for it!
this is not a Massacres because you ignore the most of the part of the whole story
when Jap lost its war and give up this tiny island to China, some of the islander train by the Japs attack and rubber the Mainlanders soldiers and officers, they even massacre and raps children and women, then raise this so call 228 event.
you green idiots is political lier and rumor maker
To op777: Before you comment further, you have to do more homework and study on how Formosa was eventually occupied by the ROC government. Watch your language for you are what you utter!
To lumingfang: Let me tell you one simple fact: To date, only two photo pictures of the 228 martyrs killed by ROC/KMT government soldiers are available. For over 60 years, the families of 228 victims are still waiting for someone who had executed the order of the Massacre to come forward and tell us in public how they killed our relatives! Do you feel shame of such cowardice? Perhaps, they can show us more of the photos we wish to show in public the cruelty of the Massacre!
To pzpz??: Any one who blindly deny the truth and history of Taiwan 228 Massacres is abominable and irrational! All human beings (Taiwanese, Japanese, Manchus, Hans, and ...) are created equal by God and no one can dispose of others for any political motives! You should do more research before you comment further.
To Civsuccess: We all know that the foreign KMT Party Regime had imposed nearly 40 years of martial law in Taiwan - right after 228 Massacres in 1947. Many victim families are still afraid of talking about this Massacre today. Many 228 martyrs either do not have any immediate families (to claim compensations), or are still considered missing by their families to date! Please have a heart when you talk about Taiwan 228 Massacres!
Only 850 pp out of 10000 pp claims the 6 million dollars? unlikely. That is not even 10% of pp. 6 million dollars is a lot of money and everyone wants the money. The truth is that only about 850 died. That is after painfully comparing 戶口 during Japanese occupation and of that period after 228.
To Civsuccess: The actual results of "painfully comparing household registry data before and after Taiwan 228 Massacre" have shown that about 18000 ppl have been butchered by KMT cohorts! Do NOT try to distort the truth!
Please. 850 pp is not a lot compare to the amount of communists that were executed in mainland China by the KMT. There is also a handful of communists in Taiwan also including Lee Teng-Hui, who was pardoned.
