Boyang was arrested again in 1967
Bo Yang’s arrest over the Popeye translation was in 1968, not 1967. Taiwan’s National Human Rights Memory records the comic’s publication on January 3, 1968 and his arrest on March 4, 1968.
Full reasoning
Official records from Taiwan’s National Human Rights Memory place the Popeye incident and Bo Yang’s arrest in 1968.
The archive states that:
- the Popeye comic was published on January 3, 1968;
- after the publication, security agencies opened an investigation; and
- on March 4, 1968, agents arrested Guo Yidong (Bo Yang).
Because the publication that triggered the case appeared in 1968, and the archive gives a specific arrest date in March 1968, the statement that he “was arrested again in 1967” is incorrect. At most, 1967 refers to the newspaper’s earlier acquisition of the comic material, not to Bo Yang’s arrest.

National Tainan University
The institution’s official English name is National University of Tainan, not “National Tainan University.” The university’s own website and its announcement about Bo Yang’s honorary doctorate use “National University of Tainan.”
Full reasoning
This is a naming error. The university’s official website identifies the school as National University of Tainan. Its own news release about Bo Yang’s honorary doctorate also repeatedly refers to the institution as 國立臺南大學, i.e. National University of Tainan.
So while the article is referring to the correct school, the English name given here — “National Tainan University” — is not the institution’s official name.
