YES, LIN said “I’m proud to be Chinese”. Actually we welcome ROC people claim both Chinese and Taiwanese identity. But if someone only claims Taiwanese identity, doesn’t it feel too odd? Because the passport they originally hold is “Republic of China” passport. Also the constitution of ROC still covers the mainland China.
