DPP Legislator Gao Jyh-peng Proposes Removing the 'Father of the Nation' — KMT Criticizes it as 'Denial of R.O.C. History,' Questioning Ideology Over People's Welfare

This article comments on DPP Legislator Gao Jyh-peng's proposal to cancel the requirement for presidents to swear their oath before the portrait of the Father of the Nation. Both the author and the KMT view this as a purely 'ideological disturbance' that equates to denying the history of the Republic of China (R.O.C.). The piece cites statements from the Chen Shui-bian era acknowledging Sun Yat-sen's status and criticizes the Tsai Ing-wen administration for turning the 'Year of Reform' into the 'Year of Cultural Revolution' by inciting division.
