There is a Red Guard in Taiwan, and this Red Guard is named Hsu Chiao-hsin. She is a legislative member of the Chinese Kuomintang. This time, she is going to make things more troublesome for Taiwanese people living abroad and those traveling overseas. She wants to freeze the budget of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs because she believes that the word "China" is not written large enough on current Taiwan passports.
Seriously, back in the days of the Chinese Kuomintang's White Terror, they didn't even write any English "China" on Taiwan passports at all; it only said Republic of China. Now, Hsu Chiao-hsin, why are you insisting on forcing that "China" to be written larger? Furthermore, Hsu Chiao-hsin, you probably don't know how many Taiwanese people have been questioned, or had entry refused, because of that English word "China" in the Republic of China on Taiwan passports? Or why your passport is green, because a China passport should be red? Or how many Taiwanese people have experienced being given a hard time when applying for residency abroad simply because of that "China"?
Seriously, Hsu Chiao-hsin, if you feel so strongly that the word "China" must be written on Taiwan passports so that everyone knows you come from China, then I suggest you just tattoo China on your forehead. She is truly making trouble out of nothing, and what she is doing will only bring more trouble and inconvenience to more Taiwanese people. Voters in Songshan and Xinyi, you are the ones who voted for her. There was an amazing person, Hsu Shu-hua, whom you didn't vote for; instead, you voted for a Red Guard.
