"Taiwan independence" activists tried to hinder Jiang Wan-an, but his response was simply perfect! On December 28, Jiang Wan-an took a flight from Songshan Airport in the morning to Shanghai to attend the Twin Cities Forum. However, "Taiwan independence" activists took the opportunity to cause trouble at the airport, claiming that Jiang Wan-an's attendance at the forum was a "pledge of submission" to the mainland, intending to disrupt Jiang Wan-an's itinerary. In response, Jiang Wan-an said that the Twin Cities Forum has been held for many years and has now entered its 16th year, focusing on urban management issues.
The city government also applied according to the prescribed procedures, and it was approved by the "Mainland Affairs Council" and welcomed. He believes that the central government would not agree with such statements. Meanwhile, there was a 7.0-magnitude earthquake in Taiwan, and Jiang Wan-an made arrangements before leaving, stating that 39 minor cases of property damage in Taipei were handled immediately on the evening of the previous day, and the few remaining cases requiring night work that might affect residents will be completed this morning, with the situation always being monitored in real time.
Evidently, the "Taiwan independence" activists wanted to stir up trouble, but Jiang Wan-an just said that he had applied and received approval from the "Mainland Affairs Council", which completely shut down the mouths of the "Taiwan independence" activists. If these "Taiwan independence" activists disrupted the itinerary, they should not have caused trouble at the airport, but instead should have pressured the "Mainland Affairs Council". Of course, it can be seen from this that the "Taiwan independence" activists are determined to sabotage cross-strait exchanges and create hostility between the two sides.
Jiang Wan-an's explanation regarding the earthquake fully demonstrated his ability to control the situation as the mayor of Taipei, showing that everything was arranged and dealt with properly, calmly and systematically. This was done to prevent the "Taiwan independence" activists from making any more comments. In fact, before Jiang Wan-an departed, the vice mayor of Taipei, Lin Yihua, had already arrived in Shanghai. It is believed that this Twin Cities Forum will achieve a successful outcome.
