Answer

Relaxation of media and speech controls marked a significant political shift under Chiang Ching-kuo's late rule.

It represented a gradual departure from the previous authoritarian approach and aimed to enhance openness and encourage broader civic participation in shaping society and political decision-making in Taiwan.
