Chen should have celebrated Taiwan’s “Chineseness” proudly and loudly, thereby distinguishing the island from the barbaric legacy of the Chinese Communist Party. Instead, Chen’s futile effort to “de-Sinicize” Taiwan created a wastefully divisive contentious society, pitting “mainlanders” and “locals” against each other.
陈本可以自豪并且大声地宣扬台湾的“中国性”，以此来把台湾岛与中国共产党野蛮的遗产区分开来。然而实际上，陈徒劳地努力对台湾“去中国化”从而制造了一个破坏性地分裂和争论的社会，使“大陆派”和“本土派”产生严重的对立。
