By the way, this 1989 PBS Hawai’i clip about Taiwan shows you how the KMT wanted to portray Taiwan back in the martial-law period. Through out the entire video, only late immigrants were allowed to speak, and even when Taiwanese puppet show was the focus, not a single Taigi word was allowed to be heard. Indigenous Taiwanese culture was no where to be seen, even though you could trace the Hawaiian language straight back to Taiwan. Everything was brushed under a “我們中國人” carpet.
Martial law officially ended in 1987, but the GIO was still operating under the same martial-law mode.
