In more recent times, the term "Quemoy" surfaced in the global attention paid to civil war between Taiwan and China. The Washington Post, the New York Times, and other internationally known newspapers and periodicals referred to the bombardment of August 23, 1958 as the "Quemoy Crisis."
近代 Quemoy 再受世界矚目是在國共戰爭時期，當時華盛頓郵報、紐約時報等知名國際媒體均稱「823 砲戰」為「Quemoy Crisis」（金門危機）。
