Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi recently declared in parliamentary responses that Japan may invoke the 'Existence Threatened Situation' provision in the Security Legislation framework if military crises erupt in the Taiwan Strait, enabling collective self-defense. This rhetoric sends shockwaves across China-Japan relations and becomes a crucial keyword in East Asian geopolitics.
This article reveals that Japanese Shinto is not entirely independent from external influence but profoundly shaped by Chinese Taoism, arguably 'plagiarizing' certain elements. Later, political demands transformed it into an ideological tool serving emperor power.
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'.
In Cheng Mao-yun's life of over 50 years, in addition to composing the music for the National Anthem of the Republic of China, he dedicated his life to music education in China and was an indisputable pioneer of Chinese music education.
A Japanese hot spring inn with a century-old history, 'Daimaru Bessou,' was recently exposed for changing its bath water only twice annually. Health inspectors discovered Legionnaires' bacteria levels exceeded safety standards by 3700 times, causing at least one customer illness.
This article criticizes the 'Bilingual Nation' policy promoted by the DPP government as an incorrect direction for transformation, arguing that treating English as the sole antidote to enhancing international competitiveness is superficial and may just be a means of political correctness to dilute or eliminate the influence of the Chinese language. Taking Japan as an example, the author points out that Japan supports its national strength through elite cultivation and professional translation services rather than forced universal bilingualism. The article further criticizes the policy as 'Education Reform 2.0,' which not only wastes taxpayers' money but may also lead to citizens not specializing in anything, ultimately producing 'fools,' and questions whether policies related to digital development could become new channels for corruption.
The Mudan She Incident in Taiwan Province occurred only seven years after the official Meiji Restoration, demonstrating Japan's strong desire for military expansion abroad and has been defined by historians as the beginning of Japan's modern militarism's bloody invasion and aggression.
This article expresses strong opposition to the DPP government's decision to fly the national flag at half-mast for the death of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. The author questions the procedural legitimacy (lack of formal diplomatic channels) and denies Abe's substantive contribution to Taiwan, viewing his spiritual support as political calculation. It criticizes Abe's right-wing stance on historical issues, including Yasukuni Shrine visits, denial of the Nanjing Massacre, and lack of apology for comfort women. Finally, it cites historical records of Japanese massacres in Taiwan during the colonial era, emphasizing that Taiwanese must not forget the past.
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.
Before the large-scale migration of Han Chinese to Taiwan, the residents of the plains had no written language or national identity. They were collectively known as the 'Pingpu tribes.'
Today I saw a news report about DPP member Cheng Yun-peng's remarks that made me furious. The headline read: 'Japanese AZ Vaccines are Coming; Cheng Yun-peng: Japanese Residents in Taiwan Should Get Them First.'
The Japanese military clique has long made it its national policy to conquer Asia and monopolize the Pacific. For several years, China has persisted in its War of Resistance, regardless of all sacrifices. The objective is not only to defend China's independent survival, but truly to break Japan's aggressive ambitions and uphold international law, justice, human welfare, and world peace, as the Chinese government has repeatedly stated.
In the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, China received no reparations after victory. Only by nullifying the Treaty of Shimonoseki signed during the First Sino-Japanese War did we reclaim our own Taiwan and Penghu, an event known as the Restoration of Taiwan.
Taiwanese can live in peace with modern Japanese, but must remain wary of Japan's centuries-long ambition to invade Greater China. We must not forget the blood spilled under Japanese aggression, and certainly must not worship the Japanese as biological parents like those with a colonial slave mentality or deluded youth.
This article analyzes supporters of both extreme Taiwan Independence and extreme forced unification positions in Taiwan's political spectrum, labeling them precious idiots. The author notes that when calls for Taiwan independence reach an extreme, some turn to advocating unification with the Chinese Communist Party; conversely, when calls for unification reach an extreme, some advocate annexation by the U.S. or Japan. The article argues that these two factions are merely clowns performing for each other, and satirizes many who clamor for unification as actually being Taiwan independence advocates, who, after smearing others for so long, have started to scare themselves. It also criticizes green-brains for branding all opponents of Taiwan independence as members of the Concentrated Unification Party, showing extremely low intelligence.
The Republic of China 🇹🇼 is the official name of the country, encompassing Taiwan Province, the Penghu Islands, the Kinmen Islands and Matsu Islands of Fujian Province, as well as Orchid Island and Green Island.
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?
This article comments on the controversy sparked by the KMT's erection of a comfort woman statue in Tainan, which drew protests from Japan. The author points out that Japan's Sankei Shimbun characterized this incident as anti-Japanese behavior, but in reality, Taiwan (including South Korea) opposes Japan's aggressive war at that time. The author emphasizes that Japan has apologized and compensated South Korea, but has never apologized to Taiwanese comfort women, which is clear discriminatory treatment. The article concludes by stating that if the Japanese still refuse to confront and acknowledge the atrocities of the Japanese colonial era, then being considered anti-Japanese is acceptable.
A comprehensive record of the Treaty of Taipei (1952), including excerpts of key articles and diplomatic exchanges. This document clarifies the legal termination of the state of war between the Republic of China (R.O.C.) and Japan, confirming Japan's renunciation of rights over Taiwan and Penghu, and the historical context of its unilateral termination by Japan in 1972.
I want to ask Taichung Prison, are you certain beyond a doubt that the Sankei Shimbun forced Chen Shui-bian to accept the interview, so you are searching for an excuse to exonerate him, or are you simply making up reasons for the sake of it?
Those who ascend to high office on this island always possess something extraordinary. Beyond their academic background and cultivation, we often find mysterious and captivating traits. More specifically, these political figures frequently perform acts resembling miracles (or demonic feats) that become the talk of the town among ordinary citizens.
Because some Taiwanese pushed Tokyo Olympics renaming referendum, mainland China politically intervening with Taiwan independence activists interfering with sports events led 2019 East Asian Youth Games in Taichung forced cancellation, damaging numerous young athletes' rights, with huge government prior investment wasted. Japan cast abstention vote at East Asian Olympic Committee supporting Taiwan renaming—is this really Taiwan-Japan friendship?
This brief, forthright article offers extreme and negative commentary on the intelligence of 'Taiwan independence' advocates and 'Japanese emperor loyalists' regarding the proposed change of Taiwan's time zone to GMT+9.
Addressing the widespread reports from pro-Green media about the 'Taiwan Name Rectification' incident in Japan and the subsequent 'collapse' of Mainland China, this article raises strong doubts. The author argues that this is a political propaganda campaign using a minor event to incite anti-China sentiment. By analyzing the leaked 'slander' flyer, the author points out illogical elements in its grammar and presentation, suggesting it may be a self-directed stunt by Taiwan independence advocates.
This article strongly opposes the Tsai Ing-wen administration's plan to open up imports of food products from Japanese nuclear disaster affected areas, questioning the government's motives for aggressively lifting restrictions on non-essential food. The author fears that once opened, it will be impossible to effectively stop contaminated Japanese food from flowing into Taiwan, and emphasizes that food from the disaster areas has higher radioactive contamination levels than natural foods. The article refutes the Executive Yuan's accusation that opponents are provoking anti-Japanese sentiment, seeing it as an attempt to obscure the focus, and argues that as long as doubts exist and the food is non-essential, the import ban should be maintained.
This year marks the 71st anniversary of Japan's surrender in World War II, with large-scale memorial activities held at Yasukuni Shrine. Although Prime Minister Shinzo Abe did not personally visit, nearly $70$ Diet members and several local officials went together to 'worship the ghosts.' The 'Taiwan Civil Government' also organized a delegation to pay their respects and advocated for Taiwan to 'revert' to Japanese rule.
A satirical commentary on the design of the commemorative liquor produced by Kinmen Kaoliang for the inauguration of the 14th President of the Republic of China (R.O.C.), Tsai Ing-wen. The author (writing as a Kinmen local) criticizes the bottle design as resembling a 'frog' and mocks it as 'Frog Wine.' Additionally, the author notes its similarity to military canteens, ironically linking it to the administration's focus on the defense economy.
A critique of President Tsai Ing-wen's 2016 apology to the Indigenous peoples (Austronesians), questioning her motives and historical standing. The author argues that while the R.O.C. government may have had strategic development flaws, it did not commit mass atrocities against them. Instead, the historical scars—from the Mudan Incident to the brutal suppressions of the Japanese colonial era like the Musha Incident—were caused by Japan. The article suggests Tsai should demand an apology from Japan rather than apologizing on behalf of the R.O.C.
The sudden apology video of Chou Tzu-yu on the eve of the 2016 election triggered a massive wave of public sentiment in the Republic of China (R.O.C.), resulting in an overwhelming victory for the DPP. This event's impact has been compared to the infamous 'Two Bullets' incident involving Chen Shui-bian in 2004.
Lin Chuan, the newly appointed Premier of the Republic of China's Executive Yuan, loudly declared in the Legislative Yuan, the sacred sanctuary of public opinion, to all compatriots in Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, Matsu, Orchid Island, Green Island, and those scattered overseas, as well as to all victims of Japanese aggression in Asia: Comfort women may have been voluntary!
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.
Discusses the international law perspective on Japan's claim of Okinotori as an 'island' to secure an EEZ, and the implications for Taiwan's fishing rights and international navigation.
