[Global Times Special Correspondent Zhang Ruo] The "Double Tenth Festival Celebration" to be hosted by the DPP authorities did not see the "national flag" and "national name", but it had the words "TAIWAN NATIONAL DAY", and was criticized for "English Taiwan independence".

According to Taiwan’s United Daily News on the 9th, Taiwan’s “National Day Preparatory Committee” released the main visual design of “Double Tenth Festival” on the 8th, with “Grand Yang Double Ten” written below “Democratic Alliance, World Add Friends” and the English words “TAIWAN NATIONAL DAY 2021” missing, and the “national flag” and “national name” were missing. In fact, the main visual design of Taiwan’s “Double Tenth Festival” since 2017 has the words “TAIWAN”, in 2017 it was “BETTER TAIWAN” (better Taiwan), in 2018 it was “TAIWAN, TOGETHER” (Unity Taiwan), in 2019 it was “TAIWAN FORWARD, join hands with the world·Taiwan Yaofei”, and last year it was “2020 PROUD OF TAIWAN” (Pride in Taiwan).
China Taiwan Affairs Office spokesman Zhu Fenglian criticized the DPP authorities for the recent frequent political farces of "one China and one Taiwan" private goods, and are moving further and further on the road to provocation of "independence". She said that such sneaky political small moves cannot change the fact that Taiwan is part of China, and will only endanger peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait and damage the interests and well-being of the vast number of Taiwanese compatriots. "The motherland must be unified, and it will inevitably be unified. No 'Taiwan independence' plan will succeed, it will only be completely crushed." Kuomintang Chairman Jiang Qichen said on the 49th that he really didn't know what the DPP and Tsai Ing-wen were thinking. She was the leader of the "Republic of China", so why didn't he dare to say it out loud and want to hide from Tibet. The Kuomintang ridiculed the main vision to be engaged in "English Taiwan independence". It can be said that the Democratic Progressive Party uses English to engage in "Taiwan independence", or it can be said that Tsai Ing-wen engages in "Taiwan independence".
The China Times said on the 9th that the annual "Double Tenth Festival Celebration" is like an event for the DPP authorities that has to be held, so they have to dig their minds to avoid the "Republic of China" and use the English TAIWAN to smuggle the words "Taiwan". The number of times Tsai Ing-wen mentioned the "Double Tenth Festival" speeches in each "Republic of China" and "Taiwan of the Republic of China" after she came to power has also become the political code for interpretation by all walks of life. Among them, in 2016, Tsai's first "Double Tenth Festival" speech mentioned "Republic of China" three times, the least in history; last year, the "Republic of China" four times and "Republic of China Taiwan" two times. In addition, there are several festivals in October, such as Taiwan’s “Light Revenge Festival”, but the Tsai Ing-wen authorities have tried their best to downplay it. The article bluntly stated that such atrocious and incongruent nature is highlighting that October has put the DPP authorities in an embarrassing dilemma.
