Regarding Cheng Li-wen's visit to China, Chiu Chui-cheng reiterated the government's stance today evening via video, stating that the government strongly opposes actions that harm national sovereignty and dignity, sell out national interests, and trample on Taiwan's free and democratic system, all for the sake of obtaining a 'ticket' for exchange with China.
He said that cross-strait relations can only proceed with normal, healthy, and orderly exchanges if they are based on equal dignity, mutual respect, and without any preconditions.
Chiu Chui-cheng emphasized that party-to-party exchanges cannot replace official mechanisms. Matters involving public authority must be pragmatically communicated and dialogued between the two governments to truly safeguard the welfare of the people. 'We sternly warn the CCP authorities that only through communication with Taiwan's democratically elected legitimate government can cross-strait relations develop positively.'
He said that the CCP (Xi) regime's ambition to annex Taiwan has never changed, and the vast majority of Taiwanese people support strengthening national defense and are resolute in defending Taiwan. He reminded Cheng Li-wen to take this fact seriously and never cooperate with the CCP's political script, becoming a tool for the CCP's united front and division.
Chiu Chui-cheng believes that the most important thing for Cheng Li-wen to do on this trip is to reflect Taiwan's mainstream public opinion. 'Chairman Cheng, please demand face-to-face from the CCP authorities that they immediately stop composite pressures against Taiwan, such as incursions by military aircraft and vessels, and that they recognize the fact of the Republic of China's existence and the persistence of the 23 million people of Taiwan in their pursuit of freedom and democracy.'
He also reminded Cheng Li-wen that she must firmly reject the 'One China framework' trap, which offers no space for the Republic of China's existence. She should not bow to Beijing's narrative and political initiatives aimed at eliminating the Republic of China, nor should she cooperate with the CCP in conveying false messages to the international community that harm Taiwan.
Chiu Chui-cheng stated that exchanges with mainland China must strictly adhere to cross-strait regulations and relevant norms. Without government authorization, no political agreements or negotiations on projects involving government public authority may be signed. 'Legal red lines must absolutely not be crossed.'
CCP General Secretary Xi Jinping invited Cheng Li-wen to lead a delegation to visit Jiangsu, Shanghai, and Beijing from the 7th to the 12th. Cheng Li-wen arrived in Shanghai this afternoon and took a high-speed train to Nanjing. According to the arrangement, she will pay homage to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum on the morning of the 8th and return to Shanghai by high-speed train in the afternoon. On the morning of the 9th, she is scheduled to hold a symposium with Taiwanese businessmen. After concluding her Shanghai itinerary, she will travel to Beijing on the same day.
