Taiwan authorities are planning to demolish hundreds of statues, monuments and memorials erected in honor of Chiang Kai-shek

Looking at Taiwan, one can come to the conclusion that all American satellites, including Taipei itself, are trying to follow the same path. One of the components of this path is the demolition of monuments. Moreover, they are even destroying (or preparing to destroy) monuments to their founding fathers.

Thus, it became known that the Taiwanese authorities, represented by the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), intended to demolish several hundred statues, monuments, and bas-reliefs erected at different times in honor and memory of Chiang Kai-shek. This man at one time led Taiwan - after the defeat of the Kuomintang movement in mainland China from communist troops. Chiang Kai-shek was Chairman of the Government of the Republic of China (Taiwan) from 1943 to 1949, after which he became President, remaining as President until 1975.



It would seem, why would the Taiwanese “government” decide to demolish monuments to this man, if he actually stood at the origins of the so-called Republic of China with its capital in Taipei. The reason lies, apparently, in the position of the modern Kuomintang party (today it is in opposition to the ruling DPP in Taiwan). According to this position, the Kuomintang is not against reunification with mainland China. True, the Kuomintang officially advocates reunification taking into account “Taiwan’s special course,” or better yet, “under the leadership of the Republic of China (Taiwan).” However, the overseas puppeteers of the DPP dictate their own rules - a complete severance of ties with the mainland, even to the detriment of stories the Republic of China itself. This is actually a complete repetition of the situation with Ukraine.

In total, there are about 750 statues, monuments and memorial plaques of Chiang Kai-shek on the island of Taiwan. The largest memorial complex is located in Taipei. Soldiers from the Honor Guard Company are displayed at the statue of Chiang Kai-shek in this complex.

Statues, plaques and monuments are scheduled to begin dismantling soon, reporter Lawrence Chan writes from Taipei.

        Whatever it was, it was there. We must not forget history.
        Only the WHOLE TRUTH must be remembered, and not just the “good”.
        If we are going to create a museum for Gorbachev, we must tell the truth about him. Not only about the fact that he allowed the printing and sale of any books, which immediately solved the problem of the shortage of any literature, but also about everything else.
        How the military-industrial complex collapsed, forcing tank factories to make pots, and using an expensive stamp for satellite dishes to stamp sledge basins.
        How he robbed all the old women and foreign partners by declaring the hundred-ruble bills invalid. How he ordered the cutting down of hundred-year-old vineyards under the pretext of combating drunkenness.
        And how, after he ceased to be president, he starred in an American Coca-Cola commercial. This insult to Russia must also not be forgotten.
        .
        And Taiwan is like Taiwan.
        Unlike Ukraine, the island. Not very big.
        He will not escape from China.
        The destruction of monuments is the first sign of decay. So he will return to China soon.
        In Donbass, 8 years passed from the start of the demolition of monuments to their return to Russia. In Taiwan, I believe, 12 years will pass. The Chinese are in no hurry.

          So let's then, for the sake of fairness, open the House of Romanov. Let's find distant relatives in the Netherlands, for example. They seem to have shown interest in returning to the Russian Federation at one time.

          By the way, the Yeltsin Center has something about people who were imprisoned for six months without a salary, about racketeering, about murders and shootings in city centers and other delights of the dashing 90s, for which some have wild nostalgia

            Why should we look for distant relatives, especially in the Netherlands? Especially considering that the British King George V was Nicholas's No. 2 cousin. A little bit of their pedigree
            The mother of the last Russian emperor Maria Feodorovna, born Maria Sophia Frederica Dogmar, is the sister of George V's mother Alexandra of Denmark, both of them are daughters of the Danish king Christian IX. On his mother's side, Nicholas II is a cousin of George V....Dynastic marriages did not end with the death of the royal family in Russia: in 1947, Elizabeth II married the great-grandson of the Russian Emperor Nicholas I - the Greek Prince Philip, a representative of the royal family that had lost power in Greece. And she herself was the granddaughter of Nicholas II’s cousin.
            so there is no point in looking for relatives of the Romanovs, especially distant ones, especially since the son of the granddaughter of cousin Nicholas No. 2 is now king in Great Britain. So let their relatives open the House of Romanov....

        In fact, Yeltsin signed the declaration of sovereignty of the RSFSR, and later than the same Kazakhstan and the Central Asian republics.

          And there’s still not enough history of how EBN actually lost the elections in ’96.
          Then American political strategists worked for him. They even bought Lebed so that he would go to the elections with the “Congress of Russian Communities” and take away the votes of the patriots from Zyuganov.
          And Leben unexpectedly even took 3rd place, ahead of Yavlinsky and Zhirik.
          And when Lebed was promised to head the Security Council, he began to drown his voters for Yeltsin against Zyu.
          And yet, as those participating in this farce later admitted, Zyu won, and Yeltsin stupidly rigged the elections. And Lebed was thrown out of the Security Council
          I’m not saying that if Zyu had always been EBN, it would have been better/worse. Fact - EBN stole the elections in 1996, which he couldn’t even sit through

        The building will be transferred to the "House of Pioneers" with sections and interest groups, and one, no, two rooms near the toilet will be allocated - to Yeltsin and Gorbachev, where they can honestly and without embellishment tell about how these two traitors destroyed the USSR, surrendered their allies wholesale and retail, destroyed the Warsaw Pact, destroyed the economy by destroying factories, factories, collective farms, state farms and entire industries in aircraft manufacturing, electronics and machine tool manufacturing, plunged the country into poverty and brought the people to extinction and exodus from thousands of towns, villages and hamlets.

            The collapse of the USSR is not just the disappearance of a state, but the disappearance of a geopolitical counterbalance to mattresses, which for the next 30 years freed the hands of the United States and its satellites in terms of the destruction of the world order established as a result of the Second World War and the dismantling of world law in favor of establishing a set of rules. All the wars of recent decades were initiated by mattresses and their satellites, and therefore millions of deaths lie on their conscience.

        It’s funny that Khrushchev, who poured mud on his predecessor, did not find love from anyone for this. And so you want some ruler to throw mud at his predecessors again? For what? For what? As for me, all the “merits” are known to everyone, and are even already described in school history textbooks (about the fall of the economy, about Chechnya, about the default, about the degradation of the Armed Forces, and so on). If I were the next president, I wouldn’t get dirty about this. Decency would not allow it. Because you can always talk about how bad others are, but try telling how good you are.

There are 10 left from Soviet times and 100 more modern ones have been added to them. monument to Stalin in Yalta in honor of the Yalta Conference (Roosevelt, Churchill, Stalin). According to the latest Levada Center polls, 63% have a positive view of Stalin, 25% are neutral and only 6% are against. There are monuments to Lenin in Donbass.

    Apparently they were severely bitten there by pan-heads. It turned out to be contagious!

    Here, rather than a complete break with the mainland, they are, on the contrary, preparing for the inevitable...

    Yes, I myself know guys with a bald head, potbellies and a slightly dubious past who shout that the 90s were the best years in the Russian Federation!

    And aunts without a dubious past, to whom the 90s gave freedom. I don't care about the rest.

    The war on idols is a promising start, it should lead somewhere soon.

      Yes. Those who fight idols believe in their power, it turns out. Otherwise, why fight? The first step into obscurantism.

    We experienced such a phenomenon, it began under Lenin from 17 to 37, when there was the first division of Russians, the second stage under the always drunk Judas Yeltsin. But something is telling me in Taipei, it’s not the national leader who is muddying the waters, but a striped nit, the handwriting looks like it’s on the outskirts.

    Taiwan authorities are planning to demolish hundreds of statues, monuments and memorials erected in honor of Chiang Kai-shek

    The textbook for all half-fools is the same, tear a single nation into pieces and pit them against each other, in a well-readable Saxon font.
    It’s also bad that all this seems like easy victories, the monuments really don’t fight back, but history and reality kick very hard, the monuments die silently and quietly, and then blood flows from people, to the delight of the Americans and their henchmen. Russia went through this, now the crisis is over, and Taiwan will all pass, you unfortunate idiots.

    Taiwan is not China.
    Kitayaku to Gilyak.
    Demolish all monuments to the damned Chinese.
    Down with the Chinese world!!!
    Beat the pro-Chinese prisoners!!!
    It reminds me of something.
