Lu Xiuyan, mayor of Taichung, Kuomintang.
China Taiwan Network, February 22, according to the Hong Kong China Review News Agency, the Kuomintang Taichung Mayor Lu Xiuyan said on the 22nd that in order to let the people of Taiwan have no worries, every official has the responsibility to promote cross-strait peace. This is the common desire of all people. Why? Some people objected, she didn't quite understand it. The ruling party won the general election and was authorized by the people in Taiwan to negotiate a peace agreement with the mainland. If there is still a "referendum" after the talks, this is a face-off against public opinion and a waste of budget.
KMT Chairman Wu Dunyi recently announced that after returning to power, he will negotiate and sign a cross-strait peace agreement. On the evening of the 21st, the KMT announced the principles of negotiating and signing the Cross-Strait Peace Agreement on its Facebook fan page. The "Peace Agreement" is subject to referendum before or after the event, provided that the relevant "referendum" amendment must be a concrete and feasible procedure and be recognized by the general public.
Taichung Mayor Lu Xiuyan attended the "Motive Force Awakening" press conference of the Taiwan Aboriginal Games on the 22nd. After the meeting, I was interviewed by the media. In response to the recent interview by KMT Chairman Wu Dunyi, who advocated that he return to power, he would negotiate a "cross-strait peace agreement" with the mainland. The DPP opposed it in a big move.
Lu Xiuyan said that basically we all hope for cross-strait peace and support cross-strait exchanges, do not want to see cross-strait conflicts, and do not want cross-strait isolation, so for regional peace, so that the people of Taiwan truly have no worries, and for real peace on both sides Every official is responsible for promoting peace across the strait.
Lu Xiuyan believes that if the Cai authorities object, she doesn’t know why she opposes peace or what the purpose is. But she feels that for so many years, how we have turned our enemies into friends can only increase the relationship between the two sides of the strait. Cross-strait peace is not what all people have in common. desire? She didn't quite understand why there are still people who oppose peace.
The media asked about the "referendum" on the cross-strait peace agreement. Lu Xiuyan replied that the general election represents public opinion and itself is a kind of "referendum." Whoever wins the general election wins the support of the people on behalf of his political views. Of course, leaders can realize their ideas based on the support given to him by voters.
Lu Xiuyan also said that just as the Democratic Progressive Party won the general election in the last term, they now boycott the cross-strait peace agreement because of the power they hold and they have the final say. Therefore, the election of a leader by the people is itself a kind of "referendum," especially if the leader is responsible for cross-strait defense, of course, he can get the people's authorization to negotiate with the mainland.
Back to discussing a peace agreement with the mainland, should there be a "referendum"? Lu Xiuyan responded directly that if there is a "referendum", she believes that on the one hand, it is to face public opinion, because the people have already participated in the general election to elect a new leader. If the "referendum" is used to vote again, this is a kind of disapproval to the people. Respect, on the other hand, is a waste of budget. Third, it may also delay the election due to too many "referendums."
