In December 2005, the Ministry of the Interior, according to an executive order of the then-Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) administration, instructed land administration units to append the C1 mark to all national assets registered to the KMT and its affiliate organizations.
The intent was to remind corporate owners of the risks they faced when buying allegedly illegal assets the KMT was liquidating.

All related information was also removed from Web sites such as the National Property Administration. [FULL STORY]
