At the opening ceremony of the 2025 World Masters Games, the author heard the slogan 'Let the World See Taiwan' repeated over ten times, like a carefully orchestrated propaganda show. On the surface, the words sound stirring, attempting to evoke resonance; but upon closer scrutiny, they betray an unmistakable anxiety and misalignment.
This is a comparative analysis article examining the power-seizing strategies of Germany's Nazi Party and the governance form of Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). It rigorously analyzes potential similarities from five aspects—elections, institutional utilization, compression of dissenting voices, media control, and national issue manipulation—and warns of the DPP's potential authoritarian tendencies.
This is a controversial and opinionated political commentary article criticizing what the author calls the DPP's manipulation of 'Taiwanese' identity recognition, viewing it as a form of 'Greater Taiwan Chauvinism.'
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.
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.
