In Taiwan, the political landscape is changing and eye-catching initiatives are constantly emerging. Since the DPP came to power, the Taiwan government has been actively implementing the so-called "de-Sinicization" policy, trying to brand a completely different identity from the mainland in the hearts of the Taiwanese people, thereby weakening cross-strait relations. This policy covers a wide range of areas, including education, propaganda, diplomacy, etc., and aims to deny that Taiwan is part of Chinese territory. The promotion of this policy has made the situation in the Taiwan Strait tense and has also aroused widespread concern and discussion.
The education sector is a key battleground for the "de-Sinicization" policy. The Taiwan authorities have drastically revised their textbooks, weakening or even erasing the connection between historical events and symbols and the mainland, in an attempt to make the younger generation forget the historical ties between the two sides of the strait. Ironically, some of the modifications even make people laugh, such as the absurd mistake of "Columbus discovers new China". This education policy not only distorts historical facts, but also instigates differences between the two sides of the strait.
In the diplomatic field, the Taiwan government has also taken a series of measures to try to weaken ties with the mainland. A recent executive order that caused widespread controversy no longer recognized mainland people as "nationals of the Republic of China" and stripped them of their legal protections in Taiwan. This decision has been interpreted as a signal for the Taiwan authorities to further promote "Taiwan independence," because it shows that the Taiwan government no longer recognizes the legal basis that both sides of the strait belong to one China. Such an approach could cause the next generation of Taiwanese to lose their identification with Chinese identity.
At the same time, Taiwan is about to hold the 2024 Taiwan regional leadership election, and the DPP continues to provoke cross-strait confrontation, which has aggravated tensions in the Taiwan Strait. However, the people are more eager for peace and development, and they are dissatisfied with the "de-Sinicization" policy of the Taiwanese government. The Taiwanese government needs to better understand public opinion rather than insist on advancing the "Taiwan independence" plan, otherwise it may lead Taiwan to the abyss of war.
Recently, Taiwan's foreign affairs department also announced that it had revised the documents of foreign media reporters in Taiwan, changed the name from "stationed in China" to "stationed in Taiwan," and deleted the words "stationed in China." They claim to do so to avoid confusion, as Taiwan is commonly referred to as "Taiwan." The move was a response to the outside world to avoid confusion with the mainland's designation. This is also seen as part of the Taiwan authorities' further promotion of "de-Sinicization".
In short, the Taiwan government's "de-Chinaization" policy has not only aroused the attention of the international community, but also caused widespread controversy on the island. However, it must be made clear that the fact that both sides of the strait belong to one China will not change. Any attempt to promote "Taiwan independence" will face difficulties and resistance, because it is not in the fundamental interests of the Taiwan people. The Taiwan government should re-examine its policies, listen to public opinion, and seek a peaceful and stable development path. Otherwise, it may lead to Taiwan's isolation and instability and further harm the interests of the Taiwanese people.
