Abstract

This article focuses on the causes of the recent uprising in Taiwan. According to a report, eighteen months ago the Nanking government had a chance to make Taiwan the showpiece, which Japan had planned it to be in the greater East Asia sphere. A relatively efficient Japanese bureaucracy had monopolized the islands agriculture, trade, and Industry, gearing them to Japan's economy, but in so doing, it had helped Taiwan achieve a high industrial and agricultural level. Taiwan was, and is, about thirty years ahead of Mainland China in industrial development, with more factories than any Chinese province except Kiangsu. Although it suffered damages during war.
