(Central News Agency reporter Wang Yang-yu, Taipei, 12th) The "Trump-Xi meeting" is scheduled for the 14th, with Taiwan issues and the US-China trade war expected to be key focuses. The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Legislative Yuan caucus stated today that peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait are crucial for global interests, and Taiwan and the US are supported by the Taiwan Relations Act. The DPP caucus will continue to monitor the situation, and Taiwan will continue to cooperate closely with the US.
US President Donald Trump is expected to visit China this week. He told the media in the Oval Office that Taiwan issues are "always" brought up in his discussions with Chinese President Xi Jinping, and he also plans to discuss US arms sales to Taiwan with Xi Jinping.
DPP Legislative Yuan caucus whip Chuang Ruei-hsiung, secretary-general Fan Yun, and deputy caucus whip Chen Pei-yu held a public opinion response press conference today. Regarding the aforementioned issues, Chuang Ruei-hsiung said that from the statements of the US Department of State or US officials on Taiwan's position, it can be seen that the US has repeatedly expressed stability and support for Taiwan's position and policy. Peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait are even more vital to international and global interests.
Chuang Ruei-hsiung believes that discussing Taiwan issues at the "Trump-Xi meeting" is actually very reasonable. The DPP caucus will continue to monitor the situation without being overly nervous, and Taiwan will continue to cooperate closely with the US to jointly commit to regional security and stability, which is a consensus between Taiwan and the US.
Fan Yun said that Taiwan-US relations are supported by the Taiwan Relations Act, which is a legal foundation that transcends party lines and will be jointly observed by whoever serves as president. This is not the first "Trump-Xi meeting." She believes that instead of worrying about what Trump will say, all sectors should pay more attention to how to make up for the parts of the Special Defense Budget Act that were deleted by the KMT and TPP, as this is very important for Taiwan's defense resilience and deepening US-Taiwan cooperation and trust.
In addition, the recent update of corporate identity and font design by Taiwan Power Company and other companies has sparked heated discussion. Chuang Ruei-hsiung said that for professional design content involving cultural design and public aesthetics, everything is handled according to the Procurement Act. The DPP caucus will not over-intervene, and the Legislative Yuan should supervise the budget. As for whether the design is beautiful or not, the Legislative Yuan does not need to say too much, especially since the public does not seem to expect the aesthetic judgment of legislators.
