  18. I am Taiwanese, and I can share my vivid memory back to the horrible incident of the massacre I read from newspapers and leaked videos in 1994. The incident is briefly described in Wikipedia. Why do I mention "leaked videos"? That's because in 1990s China was like nowadays North Korea -- every information about China had to be censored, and propaganda must be positive and politically correct. All the tourists with camera could only filming what CCP's directors assigned to, otherwise they would be regarded as spies and be arrested. When the families of the victims arrived in the county of the incident, they soon noticed that they were restricted where they could go, and lots of local policemen kept watching them. All the videos filmed by the families of the victims had to be reviewed by CCP officials, and be deleted if the CCP officials felt any negative and politically incorrect in videos. Some Taiwanese did not comply with the censoring rule, and risked their lives by hiding some video tapes from China's censorship. After leaving China and back to Taiwan, they gave their video tapes to Taiwan TV stations to reveal the truth of what happened and how they were treated in China. At first the official information of the incident from the police was locked to as simply an accident. But when the families of the victims were introduced to see the burned ferry, they noticed the information from the police was deceptive and incorrect. They felt angry that the police tried to fool them with a childish police reasoning! That ferry was made of iron, and there was an iron door to the lower cabin of the ship. Inside the cabin, there were lots of pieces of human flesh still sticking on the floor and walls of the cabin. The families of the victims reasoned out what happened to the deceased before they died: The victims were locked inside the cabin after being robbed, then those robbers pouring gasoline on the top of the ferry, and set fire before those robbers left. The victims tried banging on walls and hoped some ships nearby hearing the banging sounds and come to rescue them. Unfortunately, they were burned alive with their screaming in an iron coffin. The families of the victims argued with the police that it was a murder crime event, but the police forcefully wanted them to swallow the decision already made by the police. The deed of the police made the families of the victims furious, and started to protest, which causing the suppression from the police. Someone was filming what the police barbaric action to them; but the police grabbed the camcorder, pulled out the tape, smashed and destroyed it on the ground. When the police thought they had covered up their barbaric action, another camcorder had already recorded the same scene tens of meters away. The video secretly shipped back to Taiwan, and broadcasted it through Taiwan TV stations. In 1990s, Taiwanese could watch CCP's CCTV satellite programs, so we could keep an eye on the activities of the families of the victims through Chinese censored TV news. We knew the families of the victims in China were not happy about Chinese police's action, but what did the CCTV propaganda say? CCTV news showed a local government official kindly shook hands one by one with the families of the victims, with narration: ALL WERE HAPPY and GRATEFULLY THANKS TO THE HOSPITALITY OF THE KIND MOTHERLAND. Taiwanese was further infuriated by the CCTV news, and noticed the one wanted to cover up the whole incident was not only by the local police, but also the local government. Taiwan government started trying to intervene the investigation processes of the incident, and threw all the suspicious points in that incident for Chinese government to answer. Because of the intervention of Taiwan government, Chinese county police changed their attitude from simple accident to murder robbery incident, and soon arrested SO CALLED robbers in just a few days. The police showed the guns that the robbers carried during the crime scene in CCTV news, but later strangely there were totally different guns shown in the jurisdictional court before executing those robbers. So more suspicions were still lingered: Why different guns were shown in public? Did those SO CALLED robbers actually the ones killing victims? What and why did Chinese government want to cover-up in the first place? The shadow of the incident was one of the points for Taiwanese to distrust Chinese governments and their officials, and push Taiwanese further away from China. The CCP today does not change at all after decades -- Still likes to cover-up everything that is negative and politically incorrect about China from the Chinese and the rest of the world.
