前總統馬英九宣布拒絕出席今年國慶大會。他表示，從前年開始，蔡英文政府將「Republic of China National Day」翻成「Taiwan National Day」，把「台灣」變成國家名稱，是不折不扣的「台獨」路線，他曾提出呼籲，但蔡政府置若罔聞，他若再出席國慶典禮，形同為繞彎、偷渡的「台獨」路線背書。

Former President Ma Ying-jeou announced his refusal to attend this year's National Day celebration. According to Ma, starting in 2021, the Tsai administration has turned the National Day of the Republic of China into "Taiwan National Day," changing the name of the country to "Taiwan," which is an out-and-out course of pursuing "Taiwan independence." Ma stated that his appeals have been ignored by the Tsai administration. If he were to attend the National Day ceremony again, it would be equivalent to endorsing the detour and sneaky course of "Taiwan independence" pursued by the administration.
