Unfortunately, back during the long period when the KMT held one-party rule of the nation, it couldn't see this historical reality. The party was intoxicated with the idea of "Greater China" and had to a great extent to be dragged into "localization" by the DPP, which rose from the grassroots.
但可惜的是，政黨輪替以前長期握有政權的國民黨未能看透此一歷史事實，仍沈醉於「大中國」的思維，反而被草根崛起的民進黨「拖著本土化」。
