Kuo-yu, the head of Taiwan’s legislative body, recently posted a post on Facebook about the Tomb Sweeping Day. However, because the post mentioned “an earthquake occurred in Taiwan,” the Green Camp came under fire. However, Taiwanese media person Huang Yangming dug up three cases in which the Democratic Progressive Party authorities mentioned the "Taiwan region" in the past. He bluntly said, what is there to question about these four words?
Han Guoyu posted on Facebook on the 4th that on the eve of Qingming Festival, a severe earthquake occurred in Taiwan, and people’s tomb-sweeping schedules may need to make some adjustments. He called on everyone to be cautious and pay attention to safety. I pray that everyone Peace and God bless Taiwan.
Huang Yangming said in a political commentary program on the 6th that "Taiwan Region" is a very simple legal term that will be used to summarize Taiwan, Penghu, Jinma and Malaysia. There is nothing to find fault with. For example, a press release from Taiwan's defense department in June 2017 stated " The Meiyu front hits Taiwan"; Taiwan's economic department pointed out in a press release in May 2021 that "the Meiyu front passed through at the end of May, bringing long-lost rainfall to Taiwan"; "Taichung" reported by the "National Development Council" in September 2023 "Airport 2040 Overall Plan" also mentioned that the "Taiwan Region Civil Airport 2040 Overall Plan" will be approved by the Taiwan administrative agency in May 2021.
Since the above-mentioned cases are all from the period of the Democratic Progressive Party, Huang Yangming asked, what is so questionable about the term "Taiwan Region"? He believes that Green Camp should not associate it with the mainland just because Han Guoyu said "Taiwan region".
This incident has also sparked heated discussions on the island's social forums. "It's originally Taiwan and the mainland." "It's terrible not to study." "Since there is the mainland, it's not normal to have Taiwan." "Hurry up and get a passport." Wear a black bear sticker to love Taiwan."
