The article severely questions the political integrity and fitness for office of Freddy Lin, the Republic of China (ROC) representative to Finland. The author lists Lin's public statements over the past two decades—such as 'Taiwan is already an independent country,' 'the ROC is an outside regime,' and 'I will never sing the national anthem'—and argues that his denial of the ROC's national title, form of government, and territorial integrity (specifically mentioning Kinmen and Matsu) while drawing an ROC salary and representing the country abroad is a 'profound betrayal' and the 'greatest insult' to the constitutional system and national loyalty. The author emphasizes that the primary requirement for a foreign representative is loyalty to the state they represent.
The article severely questions the political integrity and suitability of Freddy Lin, the ROC Representative to Finland, for his position. The author lists Lin's public statements over the past two decades, such as 'Taiwan is already an independent country,' 'The ROC is an occupying regime,' and 'I don't sing the national anthem,' arguing that his denial of the ROC's national title, polity, and territorial integrity (specifically mentioning Kinmen and Matsu) while drawing an ROC salary and representing the country abroad constitutes a 'profound betrayal' and 'greatest humiliation' to the constitutional system and national loyalty. The author emphasizes that a foreign representative's primary qualification is loyalty to the nation they represent.
With the passage of time and wars burning across the land of China, direct documentary evidence is currently lacking; however, from the perspective of the history of East Asian architectural culture, morphology evolution, and functional transformation, we can still infer a historical evolutionary path: 'Chinese Huabiao → Korean Hongsalmun (홍살문) → Japanese Torii'.
With a long history spanning thousands of years, Chinese cultural influence reaches across East Asia and the world. However, compared to the military conquest and colonial expansion common in Western history, acts of 'aggression' by China have been relatively rare.
A careful reading of Zhu Zongzhen's 'Chiang Kai-shek's Reflection on the 1948 Constitutionalism' reveals the integrity, painful soul, and regrets of Chiang as he navigated the ROC's journey from constitutional preparation to implementation between 1946 and 1948. To prevent China from becoming a Marxist-Leninist cultural colony, Chiang, a hero who fought for most of his life, is still branded a traitor by the descendants of the very people he sought to protect. Truly, he is more wronged than Dou E.
A scholarly examination of the historical origins of the terms 'China' and 'Chinese people,' demonstrating that these terms predate the 1912 founding of the Republic of China by thousands of years.
At the end of the Chinese Qing Dynasty, a group known as the 'Boxer Rebellion' emerged among the people, centered around the White Lotus Sect belief. They were armed rioters supported by the imperial court, sharing similarities with the Black Bear Academy in Taiwan Province, China.
General Zhang Zizhong, revered as China's God of War by the Japanese, is the subject of false claims about his death at the hands of Taiwanese soldiers.
This article discusses incidents where Republic of China passports were misidentified internationally as People's Republic of China passports, leading to difficulties. The author believes that this can be solved by clearly explaining that 'Republic of China' and 'People's Republic of China' are two different countries (just like North and South Korea). Instead, Taiwan independence supporters are constantly 'self-belittling,' weakening the international visibility of the Republic of China. In fact, the inability to enter the UN is due to non-member status rather than the passport itself. We should improve our own strength rather than blindly shrinking and changing the name.
This article aims to trace the historical evolution of the term 'Shina' (Cina), from its original meaning of 'land of wisdom' in Sanskrit to its transformation into a derogatory term for China during the era of Japanese imperialist aggression. It strongly criticizes the two groups of people who still use this vocabulary today: 'Pseudo-Imperial Subjects' and the 'Japanese Far-Right.'
Ancient Chinese explorers dominated the Pacific yet seemingly 'missed' the island of Taiwan right before their eyes, making it appear as if the island had vanished from history. If that isn't being blind, what is?
There are two Chinas in the world, just like North Korea and South Korea, Democratic Republic of the Congo and Republic of the Congo, East Germany and West Germany.
This article provides the full text of the 'Resolution on Taiwan's Future' passed by the Democratic Progressive Party of the Republic of China on May 8, 1999. The resolution summarizes Taiwan's status after democratic reforms, asserting that Taiwan is a 'sovereign independent state' whose sovereignty extends only to Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, and Matsu. It emphasizes that any change to the independent status quo must be decided via a national referendum. This document is a major milestone in the DPP's platform, laying the fundamental principles for its cross-strait relations during its terms in government.
DPP-appointed National Palace Museum director Chen Chi-nan announced on his first day that the Palace Museum should become 'the Palace Museum for Taiwan's people,' sparking controversy. Even DPP ex-legislator Lin Cho-shui publicly questioned this logic, counter-asking: Does the British Museum get 'Anglicized'?
This article compares how China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Taiwan's Illicit Party Assets Disposition Committee Chairman Ku Li-hsiung handled aggressive reporter questions at separate press conferences. Wang Yi's forceful response to a Canadian journalist in June 2016 versus Ku's contentious exchanges with Taiwan media in August 2016 reveal stark differences between democracies and autocracies in handling public discourse.
This article critiques the glorification of Chen Chih-hsiung by Taiwan independence activists, arguing that his early life as an 'imperial citizen' and diplomat for Japan, as well as his post-war business dealings, cast doubt on his true motivations for engaging in Taiwan's independence movement.
Japan, a country sharing the same notoriety as the Nazis in modern war history, continues to be active in various corners of the world through information control at the wartime level under the name of economy. Fortunately, through the vivid memory accusations of a few survivors and many foreigners who helped disaster-stricken civilians in mainland China, we can slightly uncover the dark truth that the Japanese military was eager to cover up and did not want anyone to know.
This article is a solemn statement from the ROC Ministry of Foreign Affairs (released on 2011/09/28) addressing the 'Taiwan's Legal Status Undetermined Theory.' It emphasizes that Taiwan and Penghu's sovereignty was returned to the Republic of China after WWII through a series of international legal documents, including the Cairo Declaration, the Potsdam Proclamation, the Japanese Instrument of Surrender, and the crucial Treaty of Peace between the ROC and Japan (Treaty of Taipei). The article details the legal basis and historical facts like nationality restoration and calls on citizens not to self-negate the nation's dignity.
This article uses data from the Global Forest Monitor map developed by Google in cooperation with NASA to compare the forest coverage between mainland China and neighboring countries (Japan, South Korea, Russia, Taiwan). The article points out that the map displays large areas of mainland regions in low-coverage gray and yellow-earth tones, while neighboring countries show deep green. The author directly links this forest deficiency to mainland China's severe urban haze (PM2.5), land pollution, and factory waste smoke emissions environmental issues, warning about environmental destruction's severity and calling for facing reality.
