A deep dive into the Taiwan Strait, one of the major frontlines of the battle between western hegemony and eastern counter-hegemony, between dying unipolarity and rising multipolarity, discussing all matters related to cross-strait affairs between Taiwan and the Chinese mainland, past and present, and connecting them with global politics.
The February 28th Incident of 1947 is widely remembered as a tragic moment in Taiwan’s history, but the way it has been framed and exploited over the years reveals a story of political opportunism. The scarcity of accurate English-language information has further enabled well-meaning Western commentators to unknowingly distort the event. In this episode of STXY, we examine what truly happened in 1947 and explore how and why the 228 Incident has been misrepresented by political actors—shaping a false collective memory whose impact is still deeply felt in Taiwan today.
