The Formosan League for Reemancipation was the first organization supportive of the
February 28 Incident of 1947 by authorities in Shanghai.[2][3] Upon his release from prison, Joshua was entrusted with responsibility of coordinating the actions of FLR members in Nanking and Shanghai. Thomas oversaw FLR activists based in Japan, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.[3] The organization maintained direct contact with government officials in the United States and the Philippines.[3] The Central Intelligence Agency collected information on the FLR.[4]
The league submitted a petition to the
Pescadores.[6] After the Kuomintang left Taiwan, the FLR planned to pursue one of four options for Taiwan: full independence, a UN trusteeship, US trusteeship, or a return to Japanese rule.[3] To suppress dissent, the Kuomintang government in Taiwan jailed members of FLR and the World United Formosans for Independence.[7] Thomas Liao moved from Hong Kong to Manila, and later Japan, in 1950, where he eventually established the Republic of Taiwan Provisional Government.[8]
