Taiwan's Chinese Nationalist Party takes a historical monument — a gate built during the Qing Dynasty — and paints their own party symbol on it. Surprise, surprise.
Really though, if the KMT wasn't so single-mindedly obsessed with their own self-aggrandizement, they'd take the Qing-era site, and paint a Qing Dynasty flag on it.
That would be the rational thing to do. If The Party was even remotely concerned with the preservation of history.

Of course, this would create the intriguing problem of what to do about historic Japanese-era buildings. Oh, what to do, what to do?
UPDATE: Letters from Taiwan has a post on the subject. Sounds like the KMT culturally vandalized the historic site back in 1966. (Hat tip to The View)
UPDATE #2: More at Arthur Dent's site.

I use to live almost 5 years with a Taiwanese girl who belongs to the imperial family (a lot of them live in Taichung right now) and these guys are way more blue that the dead dictators could ever be.
Which is strange as the KMT stole quite a big part of their wealth
