On the morning of December 10, the Taiwan Affairs Office held a regular press conference. Reporter: According to reports, an elementary school in Taipei insisted on singing the old version of the school song with the lyrics “Be a proper Chinese person.” This move made Green Camp “break the line.” Taipei City Councilors from the Democratic Progressive Party requested that it be dealt with. What comments does the speaker have on this? Taiwan Affairs Office Spokesman Chen Binhua: The compatriots on both sides of the Strait belong to the same Chinese nation; they are all Chinese. The school song inherits historical memory and cultural roots, and “being a decent Chinese person” is the common identity of compatriots on both sides of the Strait. Democratic Progressive Party politicians have lost their national positions and carried out political manipulation, which is disgusting.
