I want to express my admiration for the resolute anticommunist policy of your government. Mahathir [Mohamad]: What is your opinion about global campaign against communism? Wang: The current world situation is chaotic and fluid, but is substantially a polarized one between freedom and slavery. The philosophy of the Free World is “either enemy or friend,” whereas the philosophy of the Communist World is “either comrade or enemy.” This is a basic fact that we cannot afford to ignore. Mahathir: So how is the overall situation in Taiwan today? Wang: I am so grateful to your inquiry and attention.

  • FROM DEMOCRATIC MOVEMENT to BOURGEOIS DEMOCRACY: the INTERNAL POLITICS of the TAIWAN DEMOCRATIC PROGRESSIVE PARTY in 1991 by Linda Gail Arrigo
    FROM DEMOCRATIC MOVEMENT TO BOURGEOIS DEMOCRACY: THE INTERNAL POLITICS OF THE TAIWAN DEMOCRATIC PROGRESSIVE PARTY IN 1991 by Linda Gail Arrigo March 1992 INTRODUCTION Taiwan is awash with money. It has the highest foreign currency reserves in the world, per capita. Its GNP per capita is soaring and may soon surpass US$ 10,000; it is the Taiwan miracle, proof of the export industrialization strategy [1]. And it is a bustling, internationalized economy laid haphazardly upon the remnants of an agricultural society of personalistic loyalties. It has a Chinese-born regime, long frozen in anxious confrontation with its distant nemesis, the Peoples Republic, that has finally put down roots and begun to go native. In the words of the New York Times Magazine of February 16, 1992, it is "A Dictatorship That Grew Up ... In Taiwan despotism passes posthaste into democracy." And yet what kind of democracy is that? The question can only now be answered with greater verisimilitude following upon the December 1991 elections for the Republic of China National Assembly, only the second time in the 45-year history of that body that it has been fully subject to election by the populace. This was to be a seminal election, with the shape of a new constitution and presidential elections at stake. Other functions of democracy have also been revived. Martial law was repealed in 1987. Activists espousing a formal declaration of Taiwan independence are still being jailed, about a dozen a year, and statements of opposition candidates that "contravene national policy" are still censored from their printed platforms; but they are hardly deterred, and thus freedom of speech advances with a slightly hobbled gait.

  • “Young Guards”: the Recent High Turnover in the PLA Leadership (Part I: Purges and Reshuffles)
    Promoting “Young Guards”: The Recent High Turnover in the PLA Leadership (Part I: Purges and Reshuffles) Cheng Li The continuing consolidation of power has been the most noticeable trend under the leadership of Xi Jinping since the 18th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party in November 2012. Undoubtedly, a key component in this strengthening of both Xi’s personal power and his new administration’s authority has centered on the military domain. Xi has gone about the consolidation process through several important political and tactical moves, including the purges of the two highest-ranking generals under the previous administration on corruption and other charges; the arrest of over 40 senior military officers on various charges of wrongdoing; large-scale reshuffling of generals between regions, departments, and services; ongoing efforts to reform the PLA structure and operations; and, most importantly, the rapid promotion of “young guards” (少壮派) in the Chinese military. All of these bold measures will have profound implications—not only for Xi’s political standing in preparation for the next leadership turnover in 2017, but also for the trajectory of civilian-military relations in the country and for the assessment of China’s military modernization. The first installation in this series focuses on the recent purges and reshuffling of military leaders, which has significant consequences in the political dynamics of present-day China. It is an old saying in the history of the Chinese Communist movement that “political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.”1 Although this famous Mao Zedong slogan emphasizes the Communist doctrine that the party commands the army in seizing and retaining state power, a top party leader’s consolidation of personal power cannot be achieved without strong support from the military.

  • Nationalist China in the Postcolonial Philippines: Diasporic Anticommunism, Shared Sovereignty, and Ideological Chineseness, 1945-1970S
    Nationalist China in the Postcolonial Philippines: Diasporic Anticommunism, Shared Sovereignty, and Ideological Chineseness, 1945-1970s Chien Wen Kung Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2018 Chien Wen Kung All rights reserved ABSTRACT Nationalist China in the Postcolonial Philippines: Diasporic Anticommunism, Shared Sovereignty, and Ideological Chineseness, 1945-1970s Chien Wen Kung This dissertation explains how the Republic of China (ROC), overseas Chinese (huaqiao), and the Philippines, sometimes but not always working with each other, produced and opposed the threat of Chinese communism from the end of World War II to the mid-1970s. It is not a history of US- led anticommunist efforts with respect to the Chinese diaspora, but rather an intra-Asian social and cultural history of anticommunism and nation-building that liberates two close US allies from US- centric historiographies and juxtaposes them with each other and the huaqiao community that they claimed. Three principal arguments flow from this focus on intra-Asian anticommunism. First, I challenge narrowly territorialized understandings of Chinese nationalism by arguing that Taiwan engaged in diasporic nation-building in the Philippines. Whether by helping the Philippine military identify Chinese communists or by mobilizing Philippine huaqiao in support of Taiwan, the ROC carved out a semi-sovereign sphere of influence for itself within a foreign country. It did so through institutions such as schools, the Kuomintang (KMT), and the Philippine-Chinese Anti-Communist League, which functioned transnationally and locally to embed the ROC into Chinese society and connect huaqiao to Taiwan.

I also greatly appreciate the patient assistance and advice of other committee members, Dr. William Ritchie and Dr. Gunther Hega. There are very few English language sources on the development of the Taiwanese opposition. Therefore, this study draws heavily on Chinese language secondary sources, and some primary sources, most notably interviews with Dr. Hu Fo, a professor in the Political Science Department of the National Taiwan University (NTU) and confidant of many major Taiwan oppositionists.

  • Exile Island Xinjiang Refugees and the “One China” Policy in Nationalist Taiwan, 1949–1971
    Exile Island Xinjiang Refugees and the “One China” Policy in Nationalist Taiwan, 1949–1971 ✣ Justin M. Jacobs Introduction Taiwan during the Cold War was a curious place. Living in uncomfortable proximity to one another were wistful ex-warlords who had once held author- itarian sway over Chinese provinces larger than most contemporary European states. Men who in previous decades had regularly plotted assassination at- tempts against one another now found themselves odd bedfellows in Taipei, equally bereft of their former glory and equally dependent on the charity of the Nationalist government. All told, approximately 1.5 million Chinese mainlanders fled to Taiwan after the Nationalists lost the civil war with the Communists in 1949. Among them were a substantial number of men who Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek preferred not join him on his isle of refuge: thousands of Nationalist Party pensioners in search of a comfortable retire- ment, but not of political reform. Such undesirables usually belonged to one of two categories: former autonomous warlords whose checkered pasts would not endear them to the Communists, or ambitious Nationalist eminences who had once challenged the Generalissimo himself for control of the party.1 What these two groups of political exiles had in common was that they had all once contended for political supremacy in or around the Chinese heartland. Moreover, they nearly all identified themselves as belonging to the Han or Sino-Muslim (Hui) ethnic group. In stark contrast to the con- tinued threat posed by such rivals, non-Han refugees hailing from the dis- tant frontier—namely, Tibet and Xinjiang—were viewed in a different light.
