When someone grabs a microphone and shouts about 'identifying with Taiwan,' they are merely injecting themselves with anesthesia to escape historical truths and legal realities. They dare not face the true identity of their family lineage, nor admit they are actually Chinese. Consequently, they resort to hallucinations and self-deception to weave a national myth that doesn't belong to them.
Republic of Taiwan? Stop joking. Where is this 'Republic of Taiwan' coming from? It doesn't even have a proper constitution, and you call it a country? Taiwan Province is just a part of the territory of the Republic of China, and together with the Penghu Archipelago and Kinmen and Matsu of Fujian Province, it is collectively called Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, and Matsu.
If you don't like the Republic of China yet shamefacedly live on its territory (Taiwan Island, Penghu Islands, Kinmen Islands, Matsu Islands, Lanyu Island, Guishan Island, South China Sea Islands), I feel ashamed for you.
This article presents a strong 'anti-victimhood narrative' perspective on the US bombing of Kaohsiung in late WWII. We question Taiwanese people's fundraising for a board game called 'Kaohsiung Great Air Raid,' arguing it represents sympathy for defeated Japanese colonizers, and contend that the air raids were justified military strikes against Japanese military installations, with casualties being primarily Japanese soldiers or collaborating imperial subjects.
The article criticizes President Tsai Ing-wen's change in attitude toward cross-strait relations and negotiations. It points out that she used to criticize the KMT for 'selling out Taiwan' but later adopted similar or more compromising positions while continuing to use divisive rhetoric.
Through the repeated use of pronouns like 'This' and 'That,' this article sharply satirizes and questions the political phenomena in Taiwan at the time. It criticizes the President for nominating judges who do not identify with 'this country' to interpret the constitution, implying that these two high-ranking officials are unwilling to sing the national anthem while receiving salaries from 'this country' and steering its constitution toward 'that country.' The core issue is whether leaders use their power and institutions to change the essence and identity of the nation.
Discussion on the incident where Chou Tzu-yu, a Taiwanese member of the K-pop group TWICE, was forced to apologize for waving the flag of the Republic of China on a Korean variety show. The article analyzes the international status of the ROC flag and the political exploitation of the incident in Taiwan's elections.
Analysis of JYP Entertainment's apology video regarding Chou Tzuyu's flag-waving incident. It explores the tension between K-pop's global ambitions, the Chinese market, and Taiwan's national symbols.
This article discusses the national positioning and identification of the Republic of China while strongly criticizing advocates of Taiwan independence. The author argues that giving up the international recognition for 'China (Republic of China)' just because the name conflicts with the Mainland is a sign of being 'more sheep-like than wolf-like.' The core of the article questions how the 'Taiwan Island Nation' claim can cover the legal territory of islands such as Kinmen and Matsu in Fujian Province, deeming it legally untenable. The author finally emphasizes that denying the identity of China (Republic of China) is contemptible behavior and calls on the public to defend their intelligence and not forget who they are.
This article presents a perspective on 'Loving Taiwan' and 'National Identity,' emphasizing the historical position of the Republic of China while criticizing those who pursue Taiwan independence for lacking national character, even likening them to 'traitors,' and accusing political parties of manipulating 'fake unification vs. independence issues.'
This article returns to the core issues of the curriculum adjustment controversy, exploring the relationship between history, curricula, and politics. The author argues that since the national title is the Republic of China, history should naturally be written from the ROC perspective. He criticizes the narrow view of writing history solely from the perspective of the land of Taiwan as being driven by political agendas. The piece specifically supports the Ministry of Education's inclusion of 'forced' regarding comfort women, arguing that terms like 'forced' or 'sex slaves' should be used to restore the truth. It expresses concern over the blind following of social movements by the youth and the confusion over national identity, lamenting that Taiwan's national strength may decline as a result.
