(1977-2005)
Introduction
Founded by the Chinese Kuomintang (KMT), Modern China Magazine (March 1977 – December 2005) is well-known for its coverage of Chinese Republican history, archives of revolutionary martyrs and revolutionary documents of China. Compared to other academic journals of its kind which mainly focus on discourse and comment, Modern China unveiled the first-hand raw materials of the authorities at Kuomintang, revealing the “oral history” in the Republican Period with exclusive archives.
Modern China Database is full-text searchable, which features many great themes on “Taiwanese identities,” following the changes of governing parties, such as Taiwan Retrocession and wars, Taiwanese government-business relations in post-war era, political democratization, development history, and so on.
This database consists of complete 163 issues, 4,902 articles, 48,200 figures, 38,000 institutions and historical events in its 29-year history. Modern China frequently sponsored and hosted international academic seminars. Its members and contributors were not limited to Taiwan but broadly came from China, Korea, Japan, and Hong Kong.
