(CNA, Reporter Liao Wen-chi, Taipei, 24th) Regarding the Cheng-Xi meeting, Straits Exchange Foundation (SEF) Secretary-General Luo Wen-jia said that Kuomintang (KMT) Chairwoman Cheng Li-wun's remarks were all implementing and echoing China's recently passed "Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress," which he called a "huge injury" to Taiwan.
The SEF held a background briefing today, hosted by Luo Wen-jia.
Luo Wen-jia stated that the Cheng-Xi meeting took place because both sides had things they wanted. However, "what Xi Jinping wants is definitely not what the Taiwanese people want," while what Cheng Li-wun wants leans towards her personal interests, such as newly taking over the KMT chairmanship and establishing her political route within the party.
Luo said that the reason General Secretary Xi Jinping was willing to meet Cheng Li-wun at this time is that he hopes, through co-optation, to establish a structured political party in Taiwan that is more aligned with his strategic claims and even cooperates in implementing the CCP's strategy against Taiwan. If a party chairman goes over representing the party and cooperates with Xi's needs in all speeches, routes, and claims, Xi is naturally happy to grant an audience or offer gifts.
Regarding the 10 Taiwan-related policies rolled out by the CCP after the meeting, Luo said the CCP calls them "gifts," but the underlying meaning is, "If you can cooperate with me, listen to me, achieve what the KMT couldn't in the past, and say what the KMT wouldn't in the past, the more specific you are, the more gifts or benefits I can give you."
Looking back at what Cheng Li-wun said in Nanjing and in front of Xi Jinping, Luo found her praising Xi's leadership in China as an "extraordinary achievement" striking. Cheng is likely the first political figure in Taiwan to give Xi the highest recommendation. She also praised Chairman Xi as a sentimental person, saying, "They can't even treat us well enough; why would they want to attack us?"
Luo emphasized that a party leader or politician should know their boundaries and firmly defend the interests of the party, country, or people they represent. Over the past two weeks, many scholars from the pan-blue camp have also expressed disapproval of Cheng's high praise for Xi's "extraordinary achievements."
Luo also mentioned that in her speech at the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in Nanjing, Cheng talked extensively about history, but her narrative perspective was not the KMT's historical perspective of the Republic of China or the two parties. "It was entirely the CCP's historical view," not to mention that during her campaign for the party chairmanship, her most frequently used phrase was "We are Chinese."
Luo said that the "Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress" passed by the CCP in March this year will be implemented on July 1st. What the CCP government wants is for someone in Taiwan to publicly appeal, echo, recognize, and endorse the normative content of this law. "Cheng Li-wun is probably the first to directly echo the core content and core provisions formulated in this Ethnic Unity Promotion Law."
He noted that the law contains 64 articles, with its core emphasizing "five identifications": identifying with the great motherland, identifying with the Chinese Communist Party, identifying with Chinese culture, identifying with the Chinese nation, and identifying with socialism with Chinese characteristics. "So you see that all of Cheng Li-wun's speeches are essentially implementing and echoing the core content of the Ethnic Unity Promotion Law."
Luo Wen-jia concluded that the real impact of the "Cheng-Xi meeting" is that, through their respective needs, Cheng Li-wun is item by item implementing and echoing the content of China's Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress. "I believe this is a great injury to Taiwan." (Editor: Yang Sheng-ju) 1150424
