It surfaced when Canadian scholar, missionary, and longtime Taiwan activist Michael Stainton was searching through the papers of George Leslie Mackay, the famous missionary here.

As the World Turns in Taiwan III: Reallity Check for the Rest of the World

Jerome F. Keating Ph.D.

The tyrant is back in the hall

Taipei Times

In a perfectly apt scene involving barbed wire barricades and hundreds of police officers, National Taiwan Democracy Memorial Hall was restored yesterday to its original name, the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall.
