Taiwan Docs

Does “the country is supreme” really resonate or is “people first” actually pleasant to hear? Is “the industrial exploitation” truly important or is “a nation is built on agriculture” rational? Is “economic development” in fact in command or is it “environmental ecology” that suffers no loss of capital? Do State Enterprises deliberately attack concertedly by converging columns and gradually carrying out their policy and will? And, how do the State Apparatus face or evade provincials' survival rights and interests?

In 1990, Taiwan Power Company Ltd., constructed in Taichung, Taiwan the biggest power plant in Asia. The Taichung Coal Power Plant emits more than 37 million tones of carbon dioxide annually, the highest of any plant in the world. In 2005, Taiwan Power Company again planed to construct another power plant in Changhua County in response to economic development requirements. When the plan became public, environmentalists in Changhua immediately organized the “Anti Changhua Coastal Industry Park Coal Power Plant Alliance”. It attempted to prevent the construction that would seriously endanger people’s health and severely impact the environment.

There’s still a long way to go but these protectors of the environmental are getting tired and helpless. Will the people’s movements get any responses from the public? Only propitious gods and silent sunlight, air and water accompany these people on their road.
