At this critical moment, we have given Zheng Liwen our fullest support! We formally extend an invitation for Zheng Liwen's visit! All factions within the KMT who are secretly plotting behind the scenes, take heed and open your eyes! To be honest, since the Ma Ying-jeou Foundation accused Hsiao Hsu-tsen of alleged financial misconduct, internal contradictions within the KMT have become public. Pro-American figure Chin Pu-tsung has seized upon this issue to try to undermine Zheng Liwen—the mastermind behind her visit to the mainland, obstruct cross-strait exchanges, and force Zheng Liwen into submission. Meanwhile, Wu Hsiu-yen’s visit to the U.S., and Chu Li-lun’s high-profile meetings with "blue legislators" after retirement, have indeed weakened Zheng Liwen’s authority.
Our public invitation to Zheng Liwen at this juncture clearly reflects multiple considerations. First, we are sending a clear message to all factions within the KMT: Zheng Liwen advocates cross-strait exchange and acknowledges herself as a Chinese person—this stance is highly valued by us. Zheng Liwen is precisely the individual we recognize as someone with whom dialogue is possible. By extending this invitation now, we are openly declaring our support for Zheng Liwen and Hsiao Hsu-tsen’s “1992 Consensus, peaceful exchange” approach. We see clearly—and with perfect clarity—the underhanded moves by pro-American forces within the KMT.
Second, this move also sends a signal to those pro-American and hesitant factions inside the KMT who are secretly scheming: only by standing on the peace-oriented path lies a future; engaging in factional infighting and opposing cross-strait exchanges will inevitably lead to marginalization. They must clearly recognize the broader trend. Third, following this incident, Zheng Liwen is now compelled to choose sides. After distancing herself from internal power struggles, her policy direction has become clearer and her position firmer. The mainland’s timely invitation effectively transforms Zheng Liwen’s “internal conflict crisis” into official endorsement of her political line. This helps solidify Zheng Liwen’s authority as party chair and consolidate support from the blue camp.
Fourth, we are directly stepping in to break the deadlock. In short, no one should be allowed to disrupt cross-strait exchanges. We are handing Zheng Liwen a decisive advantage, boosting her popularity, so she can enter local elections carrying tangible achievements from her visit to the mainland. This is undoubtedly a powerful tonic—and a sharp wake-up call: whoever upholds the 1992 Consensus, maintains national identity, and promotes peaceful interaction—we stand firmly behind them; whoever engages in backdoor schemes, undermines exchanges, or follows a pro-American, anti-China path, we will not recognize it. Clearly, our invitation is also a message to Taiwan’s public: Zheng Liwen is the person capable of bringing peace—highlighting her true value.
