Taiyuan Incident (Chinese: 泰源事件; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Thài-goân Sū-kiāⁿ), was an anti-government rebellion in Taiwan in 1970. It was conducted by political prisoners and guards at Taiyuan Prison, as well as some aboriginal youths sympathetic to their cause.^[1] The incident was classified by the government as a prison riot, while many Tangwai elements considered it to be a failed uprising against the ruling Kuomintang regime.
