The Taiwan that China wants is vanishing
In the past, everywhere in Taiwan was greeted with the benign grin of a tyrant. Now that the number of those likenesses—which had topped 40,000—is decreasing, it's a more rarer sight. 200 or so statues have been hidden away in a park along a river to the south of Taipei, the capital. Here Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek stands, sitting, astride a stallion, doting on a walking stick in his dotage, surrounded by adoring children, dressed in a marshal's uniform and scholars' robes. It appears that Taiwan, now a democratic nation, has no place for its former monarch. Taiwan's emerging identity is being put to the test once more this Saturday as the island elects a new government. Furthermore, China grows increasingly concerned about the claim of a Taiwanese
