One of the reasons for this state of affairs has been the string of reform policies which were introduced by the ruling Kuomintang party beginning in March of last year. These include the imminent lifting of martial law and the elimination of restrictions on the formation of new political parties, two steps which have caused considerable heat in the political arena within the country.
所以如此，原因之一是：自去年三月以來，執政黨推動一連串的政治革新措施﹘ ﹘先是由中常會成立了十二人小組，針對六大政治議題研擬革新方案；十月，宣佈即將解除戒嚴及開放黨禁，把國內的政治氣氛炒熱了。
