(Central News Agency reporter Yeh Su-ping, Taipei, 13th) Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) spokesperson Wu Cheng said today that Kuomintang (KMT) Chairperson Cheng Li-wen recently stated in a CNN interview that she has 'common language' with Chinese leader Xi Jinping and claimed that cross-strait relations must 'find a common foundation.' Wu questioned what Cheng Li-wen's 'common foundation' truly is, asking, 'Is it cooperating with the Chinese Communist Party's narrative, wanting to accept the so-called 'One Country, Two Systems'?'
The DPP issued a press release today, with Wu Cheng questioning what Cheng Li-wen's 'common foundation' truly is. Is it constantly obstructing the special budget for national defense, delaying military purchases, and drastically cutting 470 billion NTD in defense spending over the past six months? Or is it, when President Lai Ching-te is visiting allies and seeking international support, ignoring the CCP's suppression and instead echoing criticisms of Taiwan's diplomacy? Or perhaps, it is cooperating with the CCP's narrative, wanting to accept the so-called 'One Country, Two Systems.'
The DPP's official Facebook page also posted, stating that the '1992 Consensus' that Cheng Li-wen repeatedly mentions has already been clearly defined by Xi Jinping as the 'One Country, Two Systems Taiwan Solution,' attempting to apply the Hong Kong model to Taiwan. Not to mention, the CCP's military threats against Taiwan have only increased, not decreased.
The DPP said that the CCP's definition of 'Taiwan independence' includes believing that 'the Republic of China is a sovereign and independent country,' advocating that 'Taiwan's future should be decided by its 23 million people,' and even opposing the CCP's annexation of Taiwan. In other words, anyone who opposes the CCP's annexation of Taiwan could be seen as 'Taiwan independence' in the CCP's eyes. This means the CCP is targeting the entire Taiwanese society.
Wu Cheng called on Cheng Li-wen to stop such 'inviting wolves into the house' behavior, to stop degrading the KMT's blue to the CCP's 'little pinks,' and not to become a local collaborator in the CCP's annexation of Taiwan for personal political gain. (Editor: Huang Kuo-lun) 1150513
