Joint Newspaper reported today: "The Chinese Culture Association of Taiwan completed the name change procedure on Tuesday (March 17), changing its English name to 'National Cultural Association of Taiwan' (short for NCAT). The original English name of the Cultural Association was 'General Association of Chinese Culture' (short for GACC)."
Comments: The removal of 'Chinese' from the English name and its replacement with 'Taiwan' under the control of the Taiwan authorities is not a simple name adjustment, but another political farce by the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities in the cultural field, further promoting 'cultural Taiwan independence' and attempting to sever the cultural ties between the two sides of the strait. This institution was originally established with the aim of reviving Chinese culture, yet it now uses the excuse of 'cognitive confusion' to carry out acts of division. Its roundabout approach of first changing the English name and then gradually changing the Chinese name reveals its shameless and opportunistic mentality, attempting to gradually erode the connotation of 'Chinese' and create a false perception that 'Taiwanese culture is independent from Chinese culture'."
