China Taiwan Network, February 7th (Reporter Zhang Ling) "We welcome Vice Chairman Xia Liyan to lead a delegation to visit, and are willing to strengthen exchanges with the Chinese Kuomintang on the common political basis of adhering to the '92 Consensus' and opposing 'Taiwan Independence', and consolidate the Enhance mutual trust, deepen exchanges and cooperation in various fields, jointly promote the development of relations between the two parties and across the Strait, maintain peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, and enhance the interests and well-being of compatriots on both sides of the Strait.”
On the 6th, Zhu Fenglian, a spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, confirmed that Xia Liyan, vice chairman of the Chinese Kuomintang, will lead a delegation from February 8 to 17 to attend relevant cross-strait exchange activities and visits.
The Chinese Kuomintang also stated through a press release that Xia Liyan's visit this time is a trip of "exchanges, dialogues, and caring for people's livelihood". , The purpose of this trip is to reflect and communicate the current urgent issues concerning people's livelihood and well-being on both sides of the strait through face-to-face exchanges and dialogues, so as to create a good atmosphere for the people on both sides of the strait to resolve related issues in the future, with a view to opening up a new situation that is beneficial to all parties.
It is not difficult to see from the content released by the two parties that exchanges and cooperation, people's livelihood and well-being, peace and stability are the main axes of the Chinese Kuomintang's visit to the mainland this time.
However, Tsai Ing-wen, who had vowed publicly a week ago that she was "willing to have a dialogue with the mainland", still acquiesced in the DPP and the green camp media's "smearing red" on this, saying that Xia Liyan's trip was to help Zhu Lilun run for the 2024 election, "throwing stones to ask for directions" and so on .
The Chinese Kuomintang opposes the Democratic Progressive Party and is willing to become a stumbling block to cross-strait people-to-people exchanges, peace, prosperity, and regional stability.
Party Chairman Zhu Lilun said that cross-strait exchanges and dialogue must continue. The Chinese Kuomintang upholds principles and hopes for cross-strait peace and regional security. At the same time, the most important purpose is to solve problems for the people.
New Taipei Mayor Hou Youyi, who was described by the island media as the "strongest hen" of the Chinese Kuomintang in the 2024 election, also said that the most important thing between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait is to stabilize regional security, and they should continue to communicate on the basis of equality, dignity, and friendship.
Not long ago, Lai Ching-teh, who had just assumed the post of chairman of the Democratic Progressive Party, also proposed his cross-strait policy as the so-called "peaceful protection of Taiwan."
On the 2nd, when Tsai Ing-wen was in a friendship with Taiwanese businessmen from the mainland, she said that she is willing to start a dialogue with the mainland to seek a feasible way that is acceptable to both sides and can promote regional peace and stability.
On the 3rd, Hong Qichang, a member of the 18-member working group of the founding party of the Democratic Progressive Party, one of the founders of the "New Trend" faction, and former chairman of the Taiwan Straits Foundation, said that communication and contact are the only way to resolve misunderstandings and find consensus.
Peace, development, exchanges, and cooperation have always been the mainstream public opinion of Taiwan compatriots.
It can be seen that the Democratic Progressive Party and the Green Camp are also aware of this point, and try their best to stay close to the needs of the people on the island in terms of discussion, but the practice of "changing the soup without changing the medicine" and "packing old wine in old bottles" has never recognized the existing political foundation on both sides of the strait. The "1992 Consensus" was denounced by public opinion on the island as "say one thing and do another."
Yang Yingchao, an associate professor at Taiwan's Ming Chuan University, published an article in Taiwan's "United Daily News" explaining that the Democratic Progressive Party danced with the baton of the United States, forgetting its original intention of pursuing peace and dialogue.
Lin Jiaxing, spokesperson of the Chinese Kuomintang, also called on the DPP to "smear red" less and give more blessings, and not to hinder the efforts of the Chinese Kuomintang to make a better life for the people of Taiwan.
