"With the aid of criticisms which have appeared in the papers, it is shown that the press in Taiwan is very different from that of a police state — The author, who is professor ofjoumalism at the University of Utah (USA), challenges a report published by the International Press Institute, which claimed that the press of the Kuomintang is not free — He refutes this assertion by means of many examples in which the press criticises the government, the private sector and influential people."
