Fanning discord, the "Taiwan independence" legislator targets "two Chiangs" again! Under pressure from the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) legislators, the Taiwanese military will rename the mausoleums of Chiang Kai-shek and Chiang Ching-kuo located in Taoyuan City, Taiwan, and withdraw the honor guard stationed there.

"The duty of Taiwanese soldiers is to defend Taiwan and resist 'hostile forces,' not to protect the tombs of the two Chiang dictators. Moreover, the term 'mausoleum' usually refers to imperial tombs," DPP legislator He Zhiwei demanded that the military make changes, including renaming and withdrawing the honor guard.

He Zhiwei also took the opportunity to attack KMT chairman Zhu Lielun, saying that the "Defense Ministry" of the Taiwan authorities once dispatched the honor guard due to a letter from then-Taoyuan County Magistrate Zhu Lielun, citing the revitalization of tourism in Taoyuan as the reason. But how many actual visitors have there been in recent years? It is very inappropriate, and the deployment of the honor guard is a waste of taxpayers' money." What he did not reflect on was that after the DPP authorities came to power in 2016, they destroyed cross-strait tourism, obstructed Chinese mainland tourists from coming to Taiwan, causing a "cut-off" of mainland tourists, which is the real reason for the decrease in local visitors.

However, despite He Zhiwei's groundless arguments, it is quite natural for the Taiwanese military, dominated by "Taiwan independence" forces, to bow to the DPP. The latest statement from the Taiwan "Defense Ministry" is that they are drafting revisions to controversial terms related to the mausoleums and are considering withdrawing the honor guard.

In recent years, the DPP has spared no effort in "de-Chiang-ing," targeting the mausoleums of the two Chiangs in a similar approach, which is essentially part of "de-Sinicization."

Satirically, while the DPP has been "de-Sinicizing" in recent years, they have set up numerous "shrines" for Japanese colonizers across Taiwan, including Chen Chien-yuan's worship of He Tian-yi. This has been criticized by public opinion as fundamentally betraying their own ancestors.
