💡 Is anyone willing to help mediate this dispute?

Please feel free to write to me at angeci (at) ltgc.cc and discuss this issue together!

Of course, it would be best if this were simply a misunderstanding and someone could help mediate, but the current evidence suggests otherwise. I will not retract my statement for now, as his viewpoint (or rather, his inappropriate analogy) truly offends me.

Alex Hsu mentioned that he was raised in mainland China, so it’s no surprise that he supports the Chinese Communist Party.

I found that one of Alex Hsu’s article “How Taiwan and China rename English movies (and why it’s a mess)” has the implication of supporting the suppress of local languages with Mandarin Chinese, and I wrote a response article “Unifying Names” about it. I initially thought he had simply overlooked something. I added a supplementary explanation in the form of a comment when his website still had a message board, but a few days later he deleted my previous explanation along with the entire message board. I tried writing to him to discuss this issue, but my dissatisfaction ultimately went unanswered. This confirms that Alex is indeed a member of the CCP, a proponent of Mandarin hegemony, and a proponent of Mandarin chauvinism, and he is a fellow traveller of the CCP. Next, I will update my previous response article on my attitude towards Alex, and forcibly convert all direct quotes about Alex on the website to simplified Chinese (embedding simplified Chinese within traditional Chinese can be seen as a unique rhetorical device).

I know that there are people in the BlogBlog Club who also support the preservation of Taiwanese and other local languages, and some even submit their posts using only romanized Taiwanese¹. You should also unite, point your guns at one enemy, and regard Alex Hsu as your common enemy!
