This dissertation may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. ii Supervisory Committee The History and Politics of Taiwan’s February 28 Incident, 1947- 2008 by Yen-Kuang Kuo BA, National Taiwan Univeristy, Taiwan, 1991 BA, University of Victoria, 2007 MA, University of Victoria, 2009 Supervisory Committee Dr. Zhongping Chen, Supervisor Department of History Dr. Gregory Blue, Departmental Member Department of History Dr. John Price, Departmental Member Department of History Dr. Andrew Marton, Outside Member Department of Pacific and Asian Studies iii Abstract Taiwan’s February 28 Incident happened in 1947 as a set of popular protests against the postwar policies of the Nationalist Party, and it then sparked militant actions and political struggles of Taiwanese but ended with military suppression and political persecution by the Nanjing government. The Nationalist Party first defined the Incident as a rebellion by pro-Japanese forces and communist saboteurs. As the enemy of the Nationalist Party in China’s Civil War (1946-1949), the Chinese Communist Party initially interpreted the Incident as a Taiwanese fight for political autonomy in the party’s wartime propaganda, and then reinterpreted the event as an anti-Nationalist uprising under its own leadership.

  • Yilan! Here Are Some Things That We Think You Should Know About Our Wonderful City
    Welcome to Yilan! Here are some things that we think you should know about our wonderful city. Things to do in Yilan County: Yilan Train Station and Jimmy Park(s): Downtown Yilan has a number of great public spaces designed in honor of Jimmy Liao, a famous Taiwanese children’s book illustrator from Yilan county. The Yilan Train Station and three nearby parks feature designs from his different books and are great places to go if you have a free afternoon. Lanyang Museum: Located in Toucheng, this museum details Yilan’s history and natural beauty. The building itself is architectural masterpiece, and is free for Yilan residents with an ARC. Yilan Museum of Art: Located in the old Bank of Taiwan building, the Yilan Museum of Art changes its exhibits frequently, so there is always something new to see. Directly across the street is also the former home of the Japanese magistrate during the days of colonization. This is a place to learn some of that history pertaining to Yilan. This museum is also free for Yilan residents once you have an ARC. Taiwan Theater Museum: If you are interested in Chinese opera, be sure to keep an eye out for this museum, which showcases a certain type of Taiwanese opera. Gezai opera is the only type of traditional operas to actually originate in Taiwan. It is originally from Yilan County, so be sure to check it out! While this museum showcases the Gezai opera, it also has exhibits on traditional puppetry and offers a free costume loan service. Luodong Cultural Workshop: Located next to Dongguan Junior High School, the Luodong Cultural Workshop is home to orchestral performances of both traditional Chinese and western varieties; there is also a free museum at the top of this architecturally significant structure that features local art.

  • Yilan Handbook 2011-2012
    About FSE The Foundation for Scholarly Exchange (formerly known as the U.S. Educational Foundation in the Republic of China), supported mainly by Taiwan’s Ministry of Education (MOE), Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA), and U.S. Department of State via the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT), is one of 51 bi-national/bilateral organizations in the world established specifically to administer the Fulbright educational exchange program outside the U.S. Ever since 1957, the Foundation has financed over 1400 Taiwan Fulbright grantees to the U.S. and more than 1000 U.S. Fulbright grantees coming to Taiwan. In 1962, the Foundation started the U.S. Education Information Center for Taiwan students who need information or guidance about studying in the U.S. Since 2003, the Foundation has cooperated with Yilan County Government to organize the Fulbright ETA project, with a view to providing high-quality English instruction to students in the county’s junior middle and elementary schools. Later, in 2008, the Kaohsiung City Government and the Foundation jointly began to deliver a similar ETA program in Kaohsiung. Currently, there are 28 Fulbright ETA grantees participating in this special project in both places. FSE is overseen by a Board of Directors comprising five Taiwanese and five U.S. members, with the director of the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) as the Honorary Chairman of the Board. The Fulbright Program The Fulbright Program was established in 1946 in the aftermath of WWII, as an initiative of Senator J. William Fulbright of Arkansas, who believed that a program of educational and cultural exchange between the people of the United States and those of other nations could play an important role in building lasting world peace.

Figures released by Global Insight Inc. indicate that global economic performance nevertheless remained stable during the year, with the rate of economic growth reaching 3.8%--only marginally lower than the 3.9% recorded in 2006. Following its outbreak last August, the negative influence of the subprime housing loan crisis in the U.S. spread rapidly throughout the world and, despite the threat of inflation, the U.S. Federal Reserve lowered interest rates three times before the end of 2007, bringing the federal funds rate down from 5.25% to 4.25%, in an attempt to avoid a slowdown in economic growth and alleviate the credit crunch.

The premium income was reduced from NT$107,731 million to NT$101,859 million, which was NT$5,872 million or 5.45% less than the premium income of the previous year. Overview of the local Insurance situation (2/3) • The decrease of premium income in 2009 was mainly attributed by two factors: o First, by the global financial crisis from the previous year. o Second, the 3rd stage of deregulation in the non-life market on April 1st. Each of the insurers was allowed to establish its own rating mechanism and this policy finally resulted in significant drop in premium rates. • The deregulation policy applied to the non-life insurance industry since 2002 gradually revealed its adverse effects to the market. In 2002, the growth of premium income of the market reached a peak of 11.67%. However, the growth started to decrease year by year and finally became negative since 2006. The decline in premium income has lasted for four consecutive years.
