has Taiwanese people who tamper with their identity and "impersonate" Japanese

reported that Eito Sonoda's mother was "Wansheng" born in Kaohsiung , Taiwan. It is reported that during the "Japanese occupation" period in Taiwan, the children born to Japanese people in Taiwan were called "Bay Born" Japanese. It is worth mentioning that now has some "fake Bay Life" in Taiwan. He is obviously a Taiwanese, but he insists on impersonating Japanese.

A Taiwanese female writer previously wrote a book called "Bao Sheng Going Home" as a "Taiwanese" but was later exposed. It turned out that she was born and raised in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. It is not an isolated case on the island to tamper with your identity and bloodline in order to be a Japanese. The reason why has similar situations is the confusing historical education of the Taiwan authorities.

Lee Teng-hui directly admitted that "the first half of his life was Japanese", and the second half of his life was praising Japanese colonial rule, and for this purpose it was a major revision of Taiwan's primary and secondary school textbooks. According to China Times Electronic News, Lee Teng-hui once wrote to Japanese media, saying that "During World War II, Taiwan and Japan were the same country. For Taiwanese people at that time, Japan was the 'motherland'. Taiwan's war against Japan was not a fact, but a fight for the 'motherland'." The new Democratic Progressive Party authorities restored their curriculum to Japan and changed the "Japanese occupancy" to "Japanese rule".

Lee Teng-hui's "pro-Japanese" and strong support for "Taiwan independence" have been widely criticized. The island political critic Huang Zhixian once angrily posted a message saying, "Lee Teng-hui not only lies, but also cross-dresses in the Japanese." criticized Lee Teng-hui for selling his back as a "traitor" . Zhuang Ling-zong, chairman of the "China Sea Fisheries Rights Association", also pointed out that every word and sentence of Lee Teng-hui seemed to be speaking for Japan, but unfortunately, Lee Teng-hui's move was completely "a hot face and a cold butt", and Japan did not take him seriously at all.

Lee Teng-hui's recent situation

In recent years, Lee Teng-hui has been rumored to have "death from illness". Even Wang Yanjun, director of Lee Teng-hui's office, once bluntly said, "Don't ask once every two months." According to Taiwan's "Central News Agency", in September this year, there was another news that Lee Teng-hui was critically ill, while Tsai Ing-wen went to visit with chicken soup, as if she took the initiative to help Lee Teng-hui break the rumors of death. Tsai Ing-wen later posted on Facebook that Lee Teng-hui was "very good in spirit."

Regarding Lee Teng-hui's words and deeds, the spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council once clearly pointed out that this fully exposed his confusing historical view, shameful colonial mentality, and his sinister intention to stubbornly adhere to the "Taiwan independence" proposition, undermine the development of cross-strait relations, and divide the feelings of compatriots on both sides of the strait, which has aroused strong indignation from compatriots on both sides of the strait. History has and will continue to prove that those who sell national interests will never end up being nailed to the pillar of shame in history.
