Since Tsai Ing-wen's "governance",she has vigorously promoted the"transitional justice"policy with a view to achieving "correction" of the "injustice" incident in the authoritarian period in Taiwan.However,contrary to expectations,the "transitional justice" measures implemented by Tsai Ing-wen's authoritiy,such as the removal of authoritarian symbols,the revision of the high school history curriculum,and the transformation of the "Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall'',have not only failed to help the island's steady development,but have increased the instability of cross-strait relations.Therefore,analyzing the specific measures of Tsai Ing-wen's "transitional justice" and revealing its profound intentions can not only broaden the study of the practical path of the theory of transitional justice,but also have great significance for grasping Taiwan's political trends and promoting cross-strait development.Transitional justice deals with the work of authoritarianism and social reconstruction.To accurately grasp and evaluate the "transitional justice" of Tsai Ing-wen's authority,the first prerequisite is to clarify the proper meaning of transitional justice.Based on the theory of post-modernism,this paper has deeply deconstructed the transitional justice from the two levels of "transition" and "justice".The existing theory shows that transitional justice is a highly complex concept involving many areas such as judicature and democratization.The choice of measures is also restricted by historical situations,transitional models,and power comparisons.However,although the transitional justice models adopted by different countries or regions are not the same,their common goal is to promote political democracy and achieve social reconciliation.Therefore,this article compares this with the effect of Tsai Ing-wen's "transitional justice".It is the standard for judging the deviation of the"transitional justice"of Tsai Ing-wen.As a discourse practice,transitional justice can thoroughly analyze it from both discourse and practice.From the perspective of discourse,this paper selects 37 official news reports on "transitional justice" from the "Presidential Office" in Taiwan as a sample of research,and discovers Taiwan through text analysis such as subject analysis,keyword and rhetorical analysis,and context analysis.The "transitional justice" in the region is a kind of discourse processing.In the period of Lee Teng-hui,Chen Shui-bian and Ma Ying-jeou,the discourse practice forms of "only paying no responsibility","all-inclusive" and "avoiding justic" are respectively presented.The name is not true.Using the theoretical core of "transitional justice",Tsai Ing-wen constructed a set of discourse system of "truth-cooperation-reconciliation",which made "transitional justice"an absolute truth and provided extensive operational space and deepness for the practice of "transitional justice".The basis of public opinion.From a practical point of view,through the analysis of the list,practice and special cases of the "transitional justice" under the Tsai Ing-wen's authority Regulations on promoting Transitional Justice,the study found that Tsai Ing-wen's "transitional justice" presented a strong "de-Chinaization" "Color." The Tsai Ing-wen's authority are trying to achieve a comprehensive cut of history,politics and culture between Taiwan and China by downplaying the history of China,dissolving the "China" power,and removing the "China" symbol.The "transitional justice”of Tsai Ing-wen's authority presents a "reconciliation"meaning at the discourse level,but in the process of practice,it shows the ideology of"de-Chinaization",and the two completely deviate from the pursuit of value.At the same time,the "transitional justice" of Tsai Ing-wen's authority not only increased the social opposition in Taiwan,affected its economic development,but also brought considerable resistance to the development of cross-strait relations.In fact,discourse and ideology are closely related.The subjectivity of discourse makes it inevitable with ideological color.The discourse of "transitional justice" of Tsai Ing-wen's authority has served for "de-Chinaization" since its inception.The discourse system of"truth-cooperation-reconciliation" is just a legalization coat for its practice.Therefore,the "transitional justice" of Tsai Ing-wen's authority is nothing more than the"de-Chinaization" in the name of "transitional justice".
