(Central News Agency reporter Liu Kuan-ting, Taipei, 14th) After Kuomintang (KMT) Chairwoman Cheng Li-wen concluded her visit to China, KMT Vice Chairman Hsiao Hsu-tsen said today that the KMT's "Cheng Li-wen path" has been established. This path can give KMT candidates a stronger argumentative foundation and is more conducive to countering the Democratic Progressive Party's (DPP) "resist China and protect Taiwan" narrative. All of this is to help the KMT regain power in 2028. Cheng Li-wen visited mainland China from the 7th to the 12th and held a "Cheng-Xi meeting" with Chinese Communist Party (CCP) General Secretary Xi Jinping. Hsiao Hsu-tsen said today in an online program interview that Cheng Li-wen has carved out a new path for the KMT and for Taiwan. The "Cheng Li-wen path" indeed exists, and this is good for the KMT, as KMT supporters are unanimous in their views on this visit to China. It will definitely be a positive help for the upcoming 2026 year-end elections and the 2028 presidential election. Hsiao Hsu-tsen pointed out that the Cheng Li-wen path gives KMT candidates courage and arguments, allowing everyone to have more confidence in facing various argumentative attacks from opponents, including "resist China and protect Taiwan." The KMT is fighting for the rights of Taiwanese people, and Cheng Li-wen will definitely assist the KMT in regaining power in the future, using excellent policies, candidates, and KMT-TPP cooperation as key factors. As for whether Cheng Li-wen might run for president in 2028, Hsiao Hsu-tsen believes that Cheng Li-wen's goal and ideal are very clear: to assist the KMT in regaining power. Other than this, he has not heard or thought of any other ideas. In addition, regarding the numerous incidents that have recently occurred at the Ma Ying-jeou Foundation, Hsiao Hsu-tsen responded that regarding this controversy, he fully respects the investigation by the foundation's board of directors and hopes that they will quickly interview him, because many things will be revealed once an investigation is conducted. He can definitely withstand scrutiny, but he hopes that this matter will no longer harm former President Ma Ying-jeou. (Editors: Su Lung-chi, Lin Hsing-meng) 1150414
