- Hi,first,I would like to greet to every member in this discussion
- group. I'm a second year student in the department of Information
- Management at the National Sun Yat-Sen university in Taiwan. Since I
- join this discussion group,I received hundreds mails everyday and that
- excited me. In these mails,there are some very good points and some
- special points of views. After all the readings, I feel that I did get
- a lot, and I would like to share some of my opinions with you. I'll
- try my best and hope this will help any member in this discussion
- group.

- Not long ago, the American's presidential election finished
- successfully, and it happen to be Taiwan's legislators election on
- the 19th Dec. Therefore I'll use the democracy of Taiwan as a title
- and briefly introduce the recently development of Taiwan's democracy.
-
- As everyone knows, Taiwan's economic development has made Taiwan
- become one of the Asia's four dragons, but maybe not everyone knows
- well about recently Taiwan's democratic development. Long ago, when
- Chiang Kai-Shek was in charge of the government policy, he controlled
- everything, so in fact there was not what we mean by democracy. Even
- though people's rights had been taken away, but at that period when we
- face Mainland China's coercion, it did stabilized the political
- situation and hold the development of the economic. Until his son,
- Chiang Ching-Kuo, took over his father's place, he started to execute
- the real democratic policy and that was when people started to know
- what is the meaning of democracy. It is admirable that Chiang Ching-Kuo
- didn't infatuated with the power, and completely executed the democratic
- policy. Especially, he accentuated reformation and therefore people
- startd to have consciousness about democracy. Later on, we have what we
- call Democratic Development Party - that is the next to the regnal
- party in size. So now we have this one to cope with the regnal party,
- and start to forwards the democracy.
-
- We say that "When you climb up, you will fell inferiority complex,
- when you want to walk far, you need to start from near place." The
- evolution is also the same. In the past few years, even though Taiwan
- had appear few excessive period, but that is only a short time, because
- most of the know ledgeable people don't casually use democracy and the
- real meaning of democracy comes out.
-
- Become democratic in Taiwan is not a far and unable dream. It is
- going to actualise in the future. I believe after some time, Taiwan's
- democratic development will just like Europe and America.
-
- If you have any question about Taiwan, I'll be pleased to try my
- best and give you a satisfied answer.
-
- Meu-Sen Sheu.
