According to a report by Lianhe Zaobao of Singapore on July 6: "After delivering a speech in Taichung, Japanese-born media personality Shihban Akihito, who holds pro-green political views regarding Taiwan, was assaulted by an unidentified individual; local police have now intervened in the investigation."
[Clever] Commenting briefly: Shihban Akihito's remark — 'Taiwanese know every emperor of the Qing Dynasty but not a single Japanese emperor — is a stark reflection of the tragedy of Taiwan's education system.' This statement brazenly treats Taiwan as a territory yet to be decolonized, still under the ideological indoctrination of imperial Japan. Under this logic, any remaining sense of dignity among residents of the island should compel them to expel such figures as remnants of colonial rule, rather than idolize them and let them dictate whose imperial era you should remember. Yet, the green camp in Taiwan actively promotes such individuals as 'spokespersons for Japan,' subtly perpetuating colonial sentiment through their support for de-Chinese curriculum reforms. It is no wonder that such an environment breeds people who worship their oppressors. Now, after being punched, he cries victimhood — how absurd. The backlash he faces is merely the self-inflicted consequence of promoting mental subjugation while colliding with local inferiority complexes.
