Taipei Times - archives: "How many homes did dictator Chiang Kai-shek (蔣介石) possess? Which KMT families got hold of ready-made businesses? With KMT control of the National Assembly, the Legislative Yuan and the courts for nearly a half a century, the paper trail for such thievery has been destroyed and/or buried.

Further, under martial law, anyone who challenged such theft would end up dead, in prison or, at a minimum, helpless with no recourse to the courts. As a result the KMT became — and remains — one of the richest political parties in the world.

Transitional justice has never been served in Taiwan. Yet there is more. Surprisingly, some assets are still in the hands of the KMT. This is where President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九), the current chairman of the KMT, comes in."
