The Kuomintang (KMT) recently released a video on Facebook, mentioning that true strength does not require loud clamor, but rather giving the people a sense of "worry-free" stability. Watching children sleep peacefully under the stars, or watching youths sweat it out on the ball court—these ordinary yet precious "lying flat" moments are a persistence that cannot be compromised.
Song Tao, head of the Taiwan Work Office of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, stated on March 30 that the CPC Central Committee and General Secretary Xi Jinping welcome and invite Cheng Li-wun to lead a KMT delegation to visit Jiangsu, Shanghai, and Beijing from April 7 to 12.
The Legislative Yuan continued its general policy interpellation today. Before the meeting, Premier Cho Jung-tai was interviewed by the media and provided an explanation regarding Cheng Li-wun's claims that the DPP's recent actions of catching spies and fighting mainland spouses have caused public resentment, and that her trip is intended to break this malice.
Cho Jung-tai stated that historically, between the KMT and the CPC, it wasn't just Wu Shi's espionage case that hurt the nation the most deeply. Fu Zuoyi's "Beiping Model" was also a crucial turning point leading to the nation's final massive defeat—using a surrendering, non-resisting, inactive method of capitulation. This is the most famous "Beiping Model" in history, and he does not believe anyone in Taiwan today could accept this kind of "lying flat" model. (Edited by Chang Chun-mou) 1150407
