Are 'Taiwanese' in Chunghwa Telecom Leading the Discrimination Against People of Kinmen and Matsu? The Administrative Division Controversy Triggered by an Event Statement

The article criticizes Chunghwa Telecom for including Kinmen County and Lienchiang County (Matsu) in the description of 'Taiwan area' in the precautions of an event page. It argues that this wording is a serious form of 'Greater Taiwan Chauvinism' and discrimination against people from Kinmen and Matsu. The author points out that Kinmen and Matsu do not belong to the Taiwan region historically or in terms of administrative divisions, and that Chunghwa Telecom's collective reference to 'Taiwan Island' and 'Penghu County' as 'Taiwan area' also ignores the independence of the Penghu Archipelago. The author emphasizes that such terms confuse legal status, disregard the contributions of people from off-shore islands, and could lead to the invalidity of contracts.
