Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) lawmakers yesterday criticized a government-sponsored study of the 228 Massacre in 1947 that blamed the Presbyterian Church for the riot, whitewashing the responsibility of Chiang Kai-shek’s (蔣介石) regime.

The study conducted by Chu Hung-yuan (朱浤源), a research fellow at Academia Sinica’s Institute of Modern History, received a grant of NT$500,000 from the government-affiliated Taiwan Foundation for Democracy, part of the organization’s regular sponsorships of academic studies.

The US should formally recognize Taiwan as an independent nation, and end its outdated and counterproductive “one China” policy, US Representative Tom Tiffany and 18 other US lawmakers wrote in a petition.

“It is time to change the status quo and recognize the reality denied by the US government for decades: Taiwan is an independent nation,” Tiffany told the Epoch Times. “As our long-standing and valued partner, correctly acknowledging their independence from communist China is long overdue.”
