The article addresses the controversy over curriculum adjustments, exploring the identity issue of 'Taiwanese' versus 'Chinese,' and criticizing specific political parties for deliberately playing word games to assign the term 'China' exclusively to the People's Republic of China, ignoring the history that the Republic of China can also be abbreviated as China.
