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.
Addressing the rumors at the time that Kuan Bi-ling might take over as Minister of Education, this article strongly criticizes the possibility, viewing it as a malicious joke by the DPP.

The author mocks the situation as a 'Kuan vs. Kuan' family feud drama and warns that such a move would be unacceptable to the Taiwanese public.
