<nettime> Forcefully destroy and confiscate farms for Foxconn in Taiwan- the violence of government and the ignorance of mass media |
Taiwan's Miaoli County government destroy with power shovels and forcefully confiscate farms without landowners' permission. (part pictures are available in http://www.taiwangoodlife.org/story/20100702/2191) Some farms stop shovels with their flesh and blood body. The scene was similar with Tiananmen Square Massacre in 1989. The main difference between these conflicts is China is a centralized state and Taiwan is democratic country. China employed military army to control media but Miaoli County government paid much money to avoid TV and newspaper reporting this protest. Until now, mainstream media still try to cover this news with fake story. No member of council or Parliament mention this violence in public. Our only weapon is Internet to let more and more people know what really happened in Taiwan. # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: http://mail.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@kein.org
