Hydis Abandoned Workers 抗爭事件: (16~18)

2015 Taiwan #AbandonedWorkers‬ ‪#‎關廠工人 rise up again, with the #‎ETC abandoned workers (Toll booth workers) from Taiwan National Highways, and the #‎Hydis abandoned workers from S. Korea (Factory closed by a powerful Taiwan capitalist). The names may be different, but the excuses to abandon their  long-time workers are the same. Again, "Nobody cares for workers, till they fight for ourselves. 工人沒人疼, 只有自己拼!" ‪ as long as the capitalism was the bible of our generation, #‎AbandonedWorkers‬ ‪#‎關廠工人 will never disappear.


Taiwan Brief History 台灣簡史:

-1895~1945: Japanese colonial period. 日本治台50年。

-1947: KMT (Chinese Nationalist Party) retreated from China civil war to occupy Taiwan & initiated ROC (apart from PROC) with a martial law. Over hundreds of thousands of Taiwanese were tortured, killed or vanished in 4 decades of White Terror (unidentified for Top Classified). 國民黨自中國內戰被推翻後,以中華民國之名撤退/殖民/接管台灣,實行戒嚴專制約半世紀,#二二八 #白色恐怖 時期,被刑求/屠殺/失蹤的民眾難以估計(自數千至數十萬人數因國安理由未能公開)。

-1971: PROC China claimed ROC Taiwan ownership from UN. China regards Taiwan as a rebel region that must be reunited by force if necessary. 聯合國決議一個中國,佔領台灣的中華民國從此喪失國際主權。

-1992: Taiwan & China became "1 country 2 systems" according to PROC-ROC secret agreement. 國民黨開始倡導模稜兩可的 #一中各表 #一國兩治。

-2000: With the election of President Chen Shui-bian from the opposition Democratic Progressive Party, Taiwan changed from One Party Dictatorship into Corporatocracy, as most of the financial & political power still controlled by KMT. 雖有首位民選總統陳水扁,但民進黨並未積極 #轉型正義,而國民黨仍舊掌握大多數資源,台灣由一黨獨裁變成權貴政治。

-2008: Corruption allegations undermined Mr Chen's popularity and contributed to the DPP's loss to a resurgent KMT. 民進黨爆發貪瀆,執政權回歸國民黨。

-2014: #OccupyCongress (0318~0424) by students, activists, NGOs & pro-Taiwan independent groups united to fight the tyranny China Trade Pacts & the systemic corruption of KMT government, turned into the national Sunflower Movement. 以台北社運圈為中心的反服貿運動,在318佔領立法院後壯大為全島響應的太陽花運動。

-2015: New generation start to use citizen power calling for changes, such as the legislative, constitutional and educational reform. There is no turning back for democracy Taiwan. 新生代受到太陽花運動鼓舞, 公民運動與投入政治開始蔚為風潮。
