I thought Robert Meeropol's comments about White Terror were important for Taiwanese to reflect on. There was an incredible amount of thought provoking comments in the forum. I haven't even included them all in what is a very long post. Thanks Tim. I thought Robert Meeropol’s comments about White Terror were important for Taiwanese to reflect on.
