This article examines the background of the novel 《臺灣漫遊錄》 and explains the legal distinction between “islanders” and “mainlanders” under Japanese rule. It notes that although most Taiwanese people held Japanese nationality, they were still treated differently under the empire’s administrative system, and the Japanization policy did not immediately erase this division in status.

- The Judicial Yuan says that “islander” was the legal term for “Taiwanese” during Japanese rule.
- Under Article 5 of the Treaty of Shimonoseki, residents who remained in Taiwan after the deadline of May 8, 1897, were considered Japanese nationals.
- In 1932, the official statistical categories were changed to “mainlanders, Koreans, islanders, nationals of the Republic of China and other foreigners.”
- In 1940, the Governor-General’s Office allowed eligible islanders to apply to adopt names in the “mainlander style.”

中國文化大學 professor 鈕則勳 analyzed 沈伯洋's campaign momentum and advised 蔣萬安 to adopt 3 major strategies—personally leading the charge, coordinating the party caucuses, and linking up counties and cities—to counter the green camp's momentum and secure an advantage in his reelection bid.

Facts:
- 鈕則勳, a full-time professor in the Department of Advertising at 中國文化大學, wrote on Facebook that Taipei Mayor 蔣萬安, who is seeking reelection, must not ignore the “洋流” stirred up by 沈伯洋, and proposed 3 major counterstrategies.
- 鈕則勳's first major strategy is “personally leading the charge,” urging 蔣萬安 to take the front line and face off against 沈伯洋, set the agenda and battleground proactively, and step up his participation in program interviews.
- The second major strategy is “coordinating the party caucuses”: the KMT caucuses in the city council and Legislative Yuan should continue developing lines of attack and open up other issues that can constrain the green camp and 沈, giving 蔣萬安 room to strengthen his record and go on the offensive against his opponent.
- The third major strategy is “linking up counties and cities,” emphasizing that the blue camp should strengthen its alliance strategy and expand the capacity for cooperation among strong partners. Policy coordination, joint governance and resource sharing can strengthen regional defenses.
- 沈伯洋 recently gave an interview to former CTV chairman 趙少康. His strategy of reaching beyond the like-minded audience has drawn considerable attention. Attendance at his campaign headquarters events and social media posts that regularly exceed 10,000 views show that the “洋流” has indeed risen.
