KMT Chairwoman Cheng Li-wen Plans US Visit in June

Following her trip to China, KMT Chairwoman Cheng Li-wen also plans to visit the United States, with June being the most likely timeframe. She stated that she needs to arrange her schedule carefully and hopes to connect with a wider circle of friends. Regarding the level of meetings in the US, she responded that higher is always better and that she will make every effort. Cheng Li-wen, who recently led a delegation to visit China and met with General Secretary Xi Jinping, discussed her plans for visiting the US in an interview on a radio program today. She emphasized that she deeply understands the importance of the United States and its influence, and therefore sincerely wishes the US well. She also hopes to bring her feelings and thoughts from her meeting with Xi Jinping to the US, allowing the international community to view this trip with a deeper perspective. When asked about the timing of her US visit, Cheng Li-wen replied that June is the most likely month, requiring careful schedule arrangements to meet diverse friends. She confirmed that official contacts are certain, and her visit to Washington will include meeting government officials. Regarding the level of meetings in Washington, Cheng Li-wen pointed out that higher is always better, and she will strive to achieve it. She questioned why some say she cannot meet with members of Congress in Washington, stating that influential US congressional members have repeatedly expressed their desire for her to visit soon and to connect, meet, and communicate. Cheng Li-wen stressed that the 1990s ushered in an era of globalization, but in the 21st century, Cold War mentality has re-emerged, and everyone seems to be heading towards a Cold War 2.0, which urgently requires a calm reassessment. The message she wants to convey is that the world should not return to the Cold War era; instead, we should have confidence in reconciliation and exchange, respect and appreciate different civilizations, and coexist on this planet, rather than engaging in a zero-sum game where one side must eliminate the other or win over the other. Cheng Li-wen believes Taiwan has a unique position and voice, and should try to persuade the international community to move in such a direction. She hopes to deliver the same message in the US. She is aware that her appearance and proposals have already sparked debate in the US, which she considers a very good thing, as there are many intelligent and capable people in America. She hopes everyone can break free from conventional thinking and not waste their intelligence and wisdom on war, but rather concentrate it on how to achieve peace.
