China Taiwan Network, March 15th. Can't stop the "transformational justice" hat, is the New Taiwan Dollar revamped soon? According to Taiwan's "China Times Electronic News", Taiwan's "Central Bank President" Yang Jinlong leaked today (15th) that if in accordance with the so-called "Promoting 'Transformational Justice' Ordinance", the New Taiwan dollar pattern directly refers to authoritarian symbols, "then we "Administer in accordance with the law", which means that if the pressure of "promoting transfers" cannot be resisted, Taiwan's "central bank" will also have to comply. The New Taiwan Dollar must remove and Chiang Kai-shek's , and the revision is almost a foregone conclusion.

Former Taiwan "Central Bank" President Peng Huainan once stated that the revision must recycle old banknotes, which will take 6 years and cost about 50 billion yuan (New Taiwan Dollars, the same below). Moreover, the current version's anti-counterfeiting function is good, and there is no urgency for revision. He emphasized that "there is no possibility of revision during my term of office." Yang Jinlong's words are tantamount to abandoning the bottom line of revision set by Peng Huainan.
According to the so-called "Ordinance on Promoting 'Transitional Justice'", those affected may be mainly those with the image of former Taiwan leader Chiang Kai-shek, including 200 yuan coupons, 5 yuan, and 1 yuan. The current circulation of NT$200 is not large, and Taiwanese people do not like to use banknotes with the prefix 2. Instead of revamping the currency, people from all walks of life generally believe that it can be abolished and used. However, the circulation of 1 yuan and 5 yuan is quite large. Once the version is revised, it will involve the identification problem of all coin-operated machines in Taiwan, and the overall cost will be incalculable.
Lai Shibao, the National Representative of the Kuomintang, pointed out when questioning Yang Jinlong today that the outside world is paying attention to whether "Peng rules and Yang follows"? One indicator is whether the New Taiwan Dollar needs to be revised? Because some members of the Democratic Progressive Party believe that this is "transitional justice" and want Taiwan's new "central bank" president to express his position whether he will change it or not.
Yang Jinlong said that since the "Regulations on Promoting 'Transformational Justice'" has been passed, if the New Taiwan Dollar pattern involves symbols of authority and a decision is made to revise the New Taiwan Dollar, "then we will administer it in accordance with the law."
Lai Shibao was quite dissatisfied with this answer and criticized Yang Jinlong for saying "this is political language and action." Unlike Peng Huainan, he emphasized that Peng Huainan insisted on professionalism, but Yang Jinlong turned to politics, "Did Tsai Ing-wen and Lai Qingde ask you to change it? " , "Are you going to serve politics at the expense of the 50 billion yuan paid by taxpayers?"
Yang Jinlong explained that his attitude only involves patterns that symbolize authority. As for animals, science, education, and sports, these patterns are not exempted. Influence. This made Lai Shibao disapproving and sarcastically said to Yang Jinlong, "I originally had a good impression of you, but maybe you are not just a little bit afraid of politics." (End)
Democratic Progressive Party representative Gao Zhipeng proposed a new NT$ pattern revision. The island’s online voting announced early last month that the first prize in the “New NT$” design competition was creative.
