[Taiwan] A new plan for the transformation of National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall in Taipei includes a proposal to remove the bronze statue of Chiang in the main building. “The plan aims to turn the site into a public park with "reflections on Taiwan's authoritarian history" as its main theme, according to Yeh Hung-ling (葉虹靈), acting chairwoman of the commission”. “According to the transformation plan, all authoritarian symbols in the park will be removed to make the venue more commemorative and return the space to the public.”
