Abstract | Living as they do on a small island as few cables' length from mainland China, the inhabitants of Jinmen (Quemoy) which, for the past 45 years, has been an outpost of anti-communist resistance, are liable to find the gradual redefinition of national identity in Taiwan unsettling. As the election compaign drew closer, the parties, Kuomintang, New Party and Democratic Progressive Party, started to look more closely into Jinmen issues. In the spring of 1995, the "Working Group on Policy Articulation" (Zhengce yanjiu gongzuohui) organised a seminar on the island devoted to local problems. |
