Green Terror (Taiwan)

"Green Terror" (Chinese: 綠色恐怖; pinyin: Lǜsè Kǒngbù; Wade–Giles: Lü4sê4 Kʻung3pu4) or "Second White Terror" (Chinese: 白色恐怖2.0) is a political term used to characterize and criticize the authoritarian-like actions of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) or the pan-Green camp. It is used by the DPP's opponents in Taiwan (mainly the pan-Blue camp and the TPP), but is also sometimes used by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The term is a combination the DPP's party color and "White Terror", a reference to political repression under the Kuomintang's rule by martial law.
