Looking back at this controversy, Yap notes that the variety of information on maps, including place names, divisions and borders, may well contain some form of ideology and historical view. It's for this reason that the Nationalist government strictly controlled maps after the war, keeping them to a uniform standard. So it can be hard for people to accept maps that are drawn in new ways.
回顧此爭議，葉高華表示，因為地圖上的種種資訊，包括地名、區劃、疆界等等，都可能含有某種史觀和意識型態，因此，戰後國民政府對地圖嚴格管制並定於一尊，所以大家看到不同畫法的地圖時，才會一時難以接受。
