新台幣改版可破中共偽鈔企圖 How Redesigning the New Taiwan Dollar Undermines the CCP’s Counterfeiting Strategy --- Why Beijing’s Objection to Anti-Counterfeiting Measures Raises Serious Security Questions

【雙魚之論】
The redesign of the New Taiwan Dollar is, in essence, an entirely normal—indeed routine—act of state governance. What is striking, however, is that beyond the loud opposition from Blue–White politicians, China’s Taiwan Affairs Office (TAO) has also stepped forward to oppose it, inadvertently revealing that the issue carries political implications far from trivial.
The Blue–White camp claims the redesign is a “waste of money,” but this argument appears more like a contrived excuse than a serious objection. Globally, periodic currency redesigns are standard practice, and the costs of redesign and anti-counterfeiting measures are negligible when weighed against the risks to financial security. As for the TAO, it accuses Taiwan of using the redesign to pursue “de-Sinicization.” In response, the Deputy Minister of the Mainland Affairs Council has made the matter plain: whether Sun Yat-sen appears on the New Taiwan Dollar has nothing whatsoever to do with so-called de-Sinicization—after all, Sun Yat-sen does not even appear on China’s own Renminbi.
In reality, the most practical and fundamental reason for currency redesign has never been ideology, but anti-counterfeiting. As counterfeiters’ techniques gradually catch up with existing banknote designs, governments must upgrade security features. This is an entirely ordinary requirement of financial governance. The real question, then, is: what exactly is the Taiwan Affairs Office opposing?

History has long shown that counterfeit currency is not merely a criminal issue; it is also a national security and wartime instrument. North Korea has for years been accused of large-scale counterfeiting of U.S. dollars. In India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi abruptly pushed through a currency overhaul, in part to flush out hoarded cash linked to corruption, black markets, and the underground economy. More broadly, on the eve of war or major conflict, hostile states often deploy state-level resources to produce counterfeit currency, preparing to flood it into the targeted country once hostilities begin—both to bribe key civilian and military officials and to disrupt the local financial system and social stability.
For this reason, when the Chinese Communist Party openly opposes upgrades to the New Taiwan Dollar’s anti-counterfeiting features, it is difficult not to reasonably speculate: have they already prepared large quantities of New Taiwan Dollars, intending to use them in the future to interfere with Taiwan’s financial order? If so, such preparations would now be rendered futile. At the very least, this reaction in itself is highly abnormal.
What is even more alarming is that on this issue, Blue–White politicians have adopted an opposition line perfectly aligned with that of the CCP, jointly obstructing the advancement of anti-counterfeiting technology for the New Taiwan Dollar. This is no longer merely a disagreement over policy; it is a fundamental issue concerning Taiwan’s financial security and its assessment of national risk.

新台幣改版，本質上是一項極為正常、甚至例行的國家治理措施。令人錯愕的是，除了藍白政客高調反對之外，連中國國台辦也跳出來反對，反而暴露了這件事背後不單純的政治意涵。
藍白政客反對的理由是「浪費錢」，但這種說法更像是硬擠出來的藉口。放眼全球，各國貨幣定期改版早已是常態，改版與防偽成本相較於金融安全風險微不足道。至於國台辦，則指控新台幣改版是台灣在「去中國化」。對此，陸委會副主委已清楚回應：孫中山是否出現在新台幣上，與所謂「去中國化」毫無關聯——甚至連人民幣本身，也沒有孫中山。

事實上，貨幣改版最實務、也最核心的理由，從來不是意識形態，而是防偽。當偽鈔集團的技術逐步追上現行鈔券設計，國家就必須升級防偽機制，這是金融治理中再正常不過的需求。那麼，國台辦究竟在反對什麼？
歷史經驗早已說明，偽鈔從來不只是犯罪問題，更是國安與戰爭工具。朝鮮長期被指為偽造美元的大國；印度總理莫迪則曾以迅雷不及掩耳的方式推動貨幣改版，目的之一正是逼出貪污、黑市與地下經濟所囤積的鈔券。更進一步說，在戰爭或衝突前夕，敵對國家往往會動用國家級資源製造偽鈔，準備在戰事爆發時大量流入被侵略國家，一方面收買關鍵文武官員，一方面擾亂其金融秩序與社會穩定。
正因如此，當中共公開反對新台幣的防偽升級時，我們很難不合理地推測：他們是否早已準備好大量新台幣，意圖在未來用以干擾台灣的金融秩序？這樣一來，他們將前功盡棄。至少，這種反應本身就極不尋常。

更值得警惕的是，藍白政客在此議題上，竟與中共採取完全一致的反對口徑，共同阻擋新台幣防偽技術的進化。這已不只是對政策的不同意見，而是涉及台灣金融安全與國家風險認知的根本問題。

國台辦批新台幣改版去孫中山化 梁文傑訝異：胡攪蠻纏    央廣 20260205

新台幣將改版，中國國台辦聲稱，這是民進黨當局刻意去孫中山化、去中國化，這種包藏禍心的政治操弄是數典忘祖。對此，陸委會副主委梁文傑今天(5日)表示，他蠻訝異，新台幣要改版，孫中山先生在不在新台幣上面，卻變成「去中國化」的問題。

梁文傑：『(原音)台灣從來沒有去中國化的問題，台灣人保存的這個文化底蘊，我認為是比大陸深厚很多，我們有最好的「溫良恭儉讓」傳統，我們沒有搞過文革，我們沒有搞過「破四舊，立四新」，也沒有把媽祖廟、孔廟都燒掉。整天在說我們去中國化，這種是胡攪蠻纏。』

梁文傑強調，孫中山在不在新台幣上，這是台灣自己的事，不用對岸操心，如果對岸對孫中山這麼尊崇，他在20年前曾看過中共人大政協委員提案，要把孫中山放在人民幣上，但一直都沒這麼做。

他說，現在人民幣上面全部都是毛澤東，毛澤東是「批孔揚秦」，攻擊傳統文化不遺餘力，「那他能代表中國人嗎？」所以不要把政治人物跟什麼去中國化、不中國化的事情連在一起，這事情講下去就很沒意思了。他小時候的一千塊台幣上面是蔣中正總統，後來拿掉了，大家也不是用得好好的嗎？台灣人才不會這樣去看這個事情。
