Tung Tzu-wei was interviewed by host Huang Guang-qin on the 'Huiliu News Network' program 'Noon Huiliu' today, commenting on Cheng Li-wen's visit to China. Tung Tzu-wei said that from a political perspective, given the KMT's traditional century-old party status, if not many people 'echo' Cheng Li-wen's visit to China this time, it means Cheng Li-wen's personal will has surpassed the party's will. He also believes that no county or city mayor would dare to elaborate on this point. Tung Tzu-wei pointed out that the KMT in the Legislative Yuan does not review many budgets, including defense, and is in a paralyzed state, yet Cheng Li-wen wants to go to China to discuss the 'One China policy.' CCP General Secretary Xi Jinping has long stated that there is no room for the Republic of China in 'One China.' How would the current Republic of China military and generals feel about this? He met many retired navy officers in Kinmen military dependents' villages, and everyone had great doubts about this path. 'Whether such a meeting is good or bad, I am not very sure, but I personally feel it is not good.' Tung Tzu-wei pointed out that the KMT criticizes the DPP on international relations but leans towards a pro-China stance, and Cheng Li-wen, as party chairwoman, cannot represent the government. Can Cheng Li-wen negotiate peace? He does not believe that Cheng Li-wen playing this card at this time will add points to the KMT. Tung Tzu-wei stated that the KMT in the past was protecting the Republic of China, but now the DPP is protecting the Republic of China. Many friends who joined the KMT at the time have great doubts about Cheng Li-wen's path, believing that the DPP is already protecting the Republic of China, yet Cheng Li-wen abandoned the Republic of China. Xi Jinping has already said there is no room for the Republic of China in 'One China,' so there is no 'One China, respective interpretations,' only 'One China, one interpretation.' Tung Tzu-wei said, what is the purpose and significance of Cheng Li-wen's visit to China? Can it bring peace? Can it prevent missiles from pointing at Taiwan? Can it give Taiwanese businessmen better treatment and security? Everything is up to the Communist Party. That is the political environment. 'I honestly think, if she (Cheng Li-wen) goes a few more times, it should be very helpful for my election.' (Editor: Chang Ming-kun)1150407
