And right up to 1989 when it presented the first official report on the 228 Incident in the Legislative Yuan, the government was still primarily blaming the incident on "agitation and exploitation by communist elements" and laid all the responsibility on the "chief plotter who planned and controlled behind the scenes, Communist Party member Hsieh Hsueh-hung."
直到民國 78 年政府首度在立法院提出「228 事件經過報告」時，仍將事件主因歸咎於「共黨份子鼓煽利用」，並將責任都推給「幕後策劃、操縱之主謀共黨份子謝雪紅」。
