Is this another one of those “[blank] shouldn’t be political” excuses?

This is such a brain-dead move because recognition of indigenous Taiwanese people and celebration of their culture has no impact on cross-straight relations whatsoever (at least, you’d think).

Like, everyone could happily say “the indigenous people of the island of Taiwan” and it have no meaning about the sovereignty of the island between the two different governments claiming to the the “One China”.
