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.

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.

  • (Jbotak IR Enem
    (Jbotak IR enem Monthly communications by the International Potash Institute, Berne (Switzerland) Subject 4 Soil Science April 1965 34th suite The Fixation, Accumulation and Depletion of Potassium in Lowland Rice Soils M. P. Feng and S.C. Chang' From: Memoirs of College of Agriculture, National Taiwan University, Taipei, Vol. 8, No. 1 (1964) Analyses of a large number of paddy soil samples representative of the main soil groups in Taiwan, from acidic Latosols to calcareous alluvial soils, reveal that the contents of exchangeable potassium are generally low, from 50 to 80 ppm, and rather uniform among soil groups, while those of non-exchangeable potassium are much higher and vary considerably among soil groups (Chang and Feng, 1960). Studies on the soils from a long-term fertilizer experiment of lowland rice show that neither the depletion of exchangeable and non-exchangeable potassium in the no-potassium plot nor the accumulation in the potassium-treated plot is noticeable (Chang and Chu, 1960). All these data suggest that the equilibrium of the various forms of po- tassium in flooded soils must be different from that in upland soils. Systematic data on this subject are, however, scanty.The purpose of this paper isto make a preliminary study with regard to the fixation, accumulation and depletion of potassium in a number of soils of Taiwan under flooded condition for rice growing. Materials and Methods Three series of experiments are included in this investigation. Soil samples taken from the plots of nine long-term experiments of potash fertilizer conducted on representative soils of Taiwan were used to observe the change of exchangeable and non-exchangeable potassium resulting from different fertilizer treatments.
