Motherland controversy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Motherland Controversy[1][2] (Chinese: 祖國支那事件; lit. 'Motherland Shina Event' or shortly, Chinese: 祖國事件; lit. 'Motherland Event') occurred in Taiwan under Japanese colonial rule in 1936. Taiwanese leader Lin Hsien-tang, from the prominent Lin family of Wufeng, faced public humiliation by a Japanese individual for referring to China as his motherland. The ensuing media backlash led Lin to resign from his political roles and relocate from Taiwan to Tokyo. It is speculated that the Japanese military orchestrated the incident to caution Taiwanese intellectuals against Chinese nationalist sentiments.[3]
