Taipei, April 9 (CNA) Opposition Kuomintang (KMT) Chairman Johnny Chiang (江啟臣) said Friday that the party will not change its official emblem, after the Ministry of the Interior (MOI) suggested the party alter the symbol due to its high degree of similarity with the national emblem.
The recent debate on the issue dates back to January, when the Legislature passed a resolution requiring the MOI to evaluate the feasibility of changing the national emblem, which is based on that of the KMT.
For many in Taiwan s ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), the national symbol carries associations to the country s decades under authoritarian KMT rule prior to its transition to democracy in the early 1990s.
