  • The Taiwan Experience Taiwan's Peaceful Evolution from Dictatorship to Democracy As Seen Through the Eyes of a Foreign National and ROC Citizen
    The Taiwan Experience Taiwan's Peaceful Evolution from Dictatorship to Democracy as Seen Through the Eyes of a Foreign National and ROC Citizen Book One, 1st Edition by Alix Lee Copyright @Alix Lee, 2018 Cover Design by Alix Lee. All photographs by Alix Lee, except where otherwise indicated. ISBN: 9781790509201 ISBN-13: 9781790509201 "Democracy is an unstoppable force" Xu Jiatun, Director of the Xinhua News Agency, Hong Kong, at the time of the Tiananmen Massacre Alix Lee Preface This book is the first of three covering Taiwan's gradual evolution over several decades from a one-party dictatorship to a vibrant multi-party democracy. It deals with the social as well as political changes that have taken place in Taiwan, as seen from the point of view of a foreigner and a Taiwan citizen. A foreigner and a Taiwan citizen? Two people? No, just one. I arrived in Taiwan on a British passport in 1986 and swapped my British nationality for Taiwan (ROC) nationality about 10 years ago. The book first gives the history of Taiwan to provide the background necessary to understand the complex present-day circumstances of this island. Then, the political circumstances and developments from 1986 to 1992 are narrated in Part Two from the point of view of an initially rather reluctant observer. Part Three focuses more on social change during this same time period. These years represent Taiwan's initial opening up from a society that had been under martial law for nearly four decades, the longest period any country in the world had suffered martial law at the time.
