("板陶窯成立於2005年，創辦人陳忠正、謝秋緞夫婦秉持對傳統工藝的熱忱，有鑑於廟宇剪秥交趾陶人才的逐漸流失，及因時代轉變而令學藝者漸漸產生斷層，為了延續這門傳統工藝，成立了板陶窯")

My comment:
(a) Taiwan is in uproar. The Ma administration wants to revise history textbooks of high school, to say, among other things, capital IS Nanking. High schools students and Minister of Education have been logging horn, but at the insistence of the Minister, the revision is implemented today.

the last two paragraphs:

Minister "Wu [Se-hwa 吳思華] is unlikely to step down and the government is unlikely to freeze or mothball the proposal, Cole said. The Nationalists are behind in the polls for the 2016 election, he noted, while Tsai is ahead.

" 'With their expected loss in the Jan 16 elections, there is less pressure on [the Nationalists] to do what society wants, so the Ma administration could very well stick to its position,' he said. 'Looks like we might be in this for the long haul.'

* This report introduces Mr J Michael Cole (a Canadian) as "a senior non-resident fellow at the University of Nottingham's China Policy Institute and a researcher at the Thinking Taiwan Foundation, a think tank launched in 2012 by Tsai Ing-wen."
* There is no need to read the rest of this report, because you as an outsider may not be interested in the intricacies within Taiwan.
* Last year's Sunflower Student Movement  太陽花學運 were staffed by college students.
(c) That is why some Taiwanese taunt Ms Hung 洪秀柱 for politically incorrect, by placing presidential office in Taipei as opposed to in Nanking.
