Legislator Li Ching-hua points out that the book favors Western over Chinese expressions, stresses the accomplishments of Japanese rule, and takes the position that less attention should be paid to historical developments related to Han Chinese in Taiwan. Therefore, they argue that it should not be allowed in the classrooms.
立委李慶華則提出，新教科書採取西元紀年、排除中國人用語、強調日本人經營台灣的政績，主張減少漢民族在台灣的歷史發展，因此不應通過審查。
