The history of the Kuomintang cultural policy began with a policies of intense cultural suppression during the early postwar period (1945–1960) in Taiwan. The Kuomintang (KMT, Chinese Nationalist Party) suppressed localism and barred Taiwanese from cosmopolitan life except in the spheres of science and technology. The authoritarian KMT dominated public cultural space and Chinese nationalist networks became a part of cultural institutions, leaving little resource for cultural autonomy to grow.
