Says Yang Chang-chen, "As we came to accept such ideas as 'Taiwan first' and 'our Taiwanese identity,' people with a mainland Chinese identity came to be seen as the cat's-paws for the unjust rule of non-Taiwanese. All of a sudden they were dastardly characters who worked to suppress native Taiwanese culture. These people were to be thrown out of power."
