[Global Network Comprehensive Report] On the 26th of last month, in an exclusive interview with AFP, Taiwanese leader Tsai Ing-wen mentioned his willingness to meet with mainland leaders, and the chairman of the Taiwan and Mainland Affairs Committee Chen Mingtong also "echoed." Said that friends have helped spread the word to Beijing. According to a report by Taiwan’s “China Times Electronic News” on the 8th, at the first Cross-Strait Youth Development Forum held on the 8th, a reporter asked whether Chen Mingtong’s statement was true. Liu Jie, director of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, asked “what he said. Would you believe it?"
The first Cross-Strait Youth Development Forum was held in Hangzhou on the 8th. Liu Jieyi, director of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, and Hong Xiuzhu, former chairman of the Kuomintang, attended the meeting.
reported that after the meeting, a media reporter asked Liu Jieyi about the possibility of meeting the leaders of the two sides of the strait, and said that Chen Mingtong, chairman of the Taiwan Mainland Affairs Council, had said that an old friend helped spread the word to Beijing. In this regard, Liu Jieyi asked, "Who said there was a message coming?" The reporter called "Chen Mingtong".
Liu Jieyi asked, "Will you believe what he said?" After
, a reporter asked about the US warship passing through the Taiwan Strait yesterday. Liu Jieyi said: "We are firmly opposed to anything that endangers our national interests. This is unacceptable to us. The United States has been playing the'Taiwan card' again for a period of time. The purpose is very clear. The fundamental reason is that the United States has harmed the interests of Taiwan compatriots and the interests of all the Chinese people. Of course, it should be jointly opposed by compatriots on both sides of the strait." .
He further stated that Taiwan compatriots should recognize the true purpose of the US action, and must not help the United States play the "Taiwan card", harming the interests of compatriots on both sides of the strait and the fundamental interests of compatriots in Taiwan.
Regarding Taiwan’s leader Tsai Ing-wen’s repeated claims that he would like to meet with the mainland’s leaders, Ma Xiaoguang, a spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, also responded at a regular press conference. I think the people and public opinion on both sides of the strait are skeptical."
Ma Xiaoguang said, “I think they know well where the key and secret words of cross-strait dialogue are. All goodwill and sincerity should be tested on the touchstone of the '92 Consensus'. The leader of the Taiwan authorities should continue to complete the answer sheet. It is necessary to clearly show respect for the historical facts of the '92 Consensus' and recognize that both sides of the strait belong to one China."
From July 12th to 14th, Lien Chan, the former chairman of the Chinese Kuomintang and chairman of the Cross-Strait Peace Development Foundation, will lead a delegation to mainland China. With the freezing of cross-strait relations, Lien Chan’s trip has attracted much attention on the island.
Zhang Yushao, a researcher at the Taiwan Cross-Strait Policy Association, wrote in Taiwan media that for the DPP, the message that the mainland wants to disclose this time Lien Chan’s trip can be understood as: The "China" position refuses to compromise, and "cross-strait one family" will not work, so the gap in cross-strait relations will only become narrower. The Taiwan authorities should stop thinking about the fake issue of "cross-strait leaders meeting."
