Was '40,000 for One' in the TV Series 'Gold Leaf' Really That Bad? See How the Great Empire of Japan Did It

This is a commentary article refuting the one-sided smear campaign against the Kuomintang's '40,000 for 1' policy in Taiwanese film and television works (such as 'Gold Leaf') produced under the deliberate cultivation of the DPP. By comparing extreme financial measures implemented by Japan after the war, such as 'Shin-en kirikae' (New Yen exchange), 'Yokein fūsu' (Deposit blockage), and 'Property Tax,' it argues that the KMT's financial policies for Taiwanese people at that time were actually 'lenient and kind.'
